EXCEPTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ON deviantART. Ed. APRILSunny greetings from Greece everyone! :)
For this month's feature I chose someone I admire for his talent, his mediterranean temperament and his emotional generosity, Doug Richards :iconDougNZ:

- Tell us a little about yourself.
- I’m the youngest of 14 children – 7 brothers and 7 sisters
I was born and still live in Auckland, New Zealand, though I spent years travelling and living abroad in the UK, Europe, Australia, Philippines and USA.
Last year I made a huge career change after decades of selling new houses to working as an Employment Broker helping to get the unemployed back into work – less than half the income for me but ten times the satisfaction.
Two kids – a boy and a girl. Two grandkids – a boy and a girl.

...first came to my attention a good few months ago, mainly because of his glorious black and white photos and the fact that Joel's choice of medium is film over digital. He strolls the streets with his beloved Leica, coupled with a magnificent Summicron and a roll of Tri-X. This combination gives very appealing results to my eye. The amount of detail, sharpness and contrast is just amazing, his fine feel for composition very satisfying.. The pure fact that he can produce these amazing pieces with a fully manual camera and no built in light meter, is just incredible! And not just that... He also is very literate and knows his genre very well.
So, play some nice music, relax and keep reading to find out how he answered my questions.
Can you introduce us Joel? What he does in real life??
Joel: He’s quite boring in real life. He just works and also studies law…meaning he does not have a lot of free time. OtherEXCEPTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ON DA, edit. March 2013 by #ThePeopleAvenue

The Eye Of Overtown

The Eye Of Overtown



Born and raised in one of the poorest areas of the United States, Jovan "Bonna" Lamb admits that during his teenage years in Miami's Overtown neighbourhood he was "a young hoodlum becoming a thug".

Now 35 and a self-taught street photographer, Lamb has created for himself the kind of success that eluded many of his peers.

His talent and commitment to his community have made Lamb the "go-to guy" when anyone in Overtown wants a visual document of an event - from a baby shower, to a political rally, to a wake. "I try to be down for everybody," he says. "They become my sculptures and I become their artist."

Confessing only that he acquired his first camera as a result of some "criminal activity", Lamb says the shooting deaths of his brother and cousin led him to a personal epiphany that changed his perspective and likely kept him both alive, and out of prison. "Out of the blue I grew a conscience," he says.

Zone FocusingWhat is zone focusing? A technique. Like auto-iso or bracketing, it's a way to increase the odds and assure that you get "that photo". In this case it's not about the adequate speed or the right exposure, but about it's focus.
We all know that street photography is not about planning or action, but all about reaction. The pursuit of that perfect moment that you can't imagine in advance.
After your alertness see that light, that mood, that person, that face, thatcharacter, that situation, that juxtaposition, that balance, that repetition, that situation, that something that triggers you, all you can do is… react.
Well, without going into DoF, it's relation with the sensor's size, on how it only works usefully up to 35 or 50mm, and wider themes like creativity, let's just stick to aperture/distance and the fact that in the end of a photo walk you have a coherent set of photos and an acceptable focus rate of candZone Focusing by *NunoCanha

THE LOOK by *MARX77
Damian ChrobakBorn in Jastrzebie Zdroj (Poland), Damian studied photography at Academy of Photography in Warsaw.
After the first year he decided to look for a different direction and began his search for a photography
he could really call his own. He came to London, where he completed a Black & White Photography course
at the University of the Arts London. Discovering street photography became a turning point in his life.
Damian has been documenting London's streets life for the last few years with some great results.
He had a few solo and group exhibitions in Poland as well as in England and last year he exhibited
as part of 5th European Month of Phothography in Berlin. In January 2010 he was honoured to receive
a membership of ZPAF (Association of Polish Art Photographers).
Damian is the main person behind the street photography group known as UN-POSED, which has been brought
to life in 2011 and one may get quite surprised uppon reading through the names...
