I really like the central figure in the last photo, it gives the image a haunted look. But I think the figure holding the torch ruins the illusion (ghosts don't use torches). I like the penultimate image for the same reason...but I think it would be better without the car.
this theme has so much potential and I don't think I have seen it before, your idea of a partially seen thing is really good although you have only applied the idea to one location type i.e. a night time street, think about how you might use the idea in other ways, it could be very inventive
My favourites are the first and last. Both of them for different reasons, The first because of the feeling of being glimpsed as well catching a glimpse yourself. I also like the framing, the walls lead the eye to the detail.
The last one because there is just a sense of movement, the framing's slightly different, but I like it.
The whole series makes me feel like I'm walking around a town at night so I think it's successful over all. I think the 2nd and 2nd to last have too much happening and the cars look too static compared to the movement of the people.
With a ND filter you can take similar pictures also in the daylight. I like the idea of having "ghosts" in your pictures where all the rest of the stays still.

ReplyDeleteI like the use of buildings as a frame in shots 1,3 and 4 to make it feel like a snatched "glimpse."
