"I am not sure which came first, being nosey or an interest in ‘street photography’, but a fascination with people and the way they live their lives is why I enjoy the business so much.
I can’t hide behind lights and technology, I am reliant on a small Leica camera, patience and lots of optimism. But what I get in return is the chance to make an honest picture which people know immediately is a genuine moment and which hopefully burrows deep into their memories."
Above are some images I found on his website, I've featured these particular three as i feel they fit with my theme; photographing people in their natural state, where they're comfortable. Although they don't particularly feature relationships they capture the natural element I want to achieve in my photographs and I wanted to show an example of this. Again I really like the black and white effect on the first two photographs and I feel I may use this in my photographs.
Above is another photograph taken by Matt Stuart which is featured on his website. I've chosen to feature this one as it fits perfectly with the brief; to have something red in the photograph which in turn represents what heart means to me. I just think the whole feeling to the photograph is really effective and I really like the idea of having a not so obvious heart - in red - featured in the photo. This is an image I'm really inspired by and I'm thinking of maybe incorporating something similar into my photo shoot.
