Gesture: The Language of Street Photography

 

Gestures are a universal form of communication. When captured in a photograph, they often stir an emotional response. Sometimes we see ourselves in these photographic slices of life, or they help us sympathize with a human condition.  

 

Capturing these fleeting moments is the challenge of street photography. It requires an ability to see evolving situations before they become photographic images. Even with this foresight, the failure rate is high, but success is still possible with practice, and a measure of luck.

 

When I’m making these photographs, I go out of my way to avoid attention--I want to be invisible. My shutter release is silent, and I never look through my view finder to compose the image, nor do I ever make eye contact with my subject.

 

For the last 10-years, I’ve incorporated street photography into my vacation travels, and most of these images were made while touring in Europe. 

Though my childhood and career placed me in Milwaukee and Minneapolis, my older brother inspired me with his photography of world travels. A workshop with award winning photographer Valerie Jardin further fostered the channeling of my efforts into one specific genre: street photography.
