POTM - Behind the Shot!

Congratulations to Brussels-based street photographer Nathanaël Fournier for winning our “Fruity” challenge this month! This mysterious shot brings to mind a real-life version of Pac-Man, or perhaps an amateur shoplifter. Whatever has really happened, there are countless further theories for the viewer to decide on, which makes it excellent fun and deserving of repeated viewings.

As always, we wanted to hear more of this shot’s back story, so we asked Nathanaël to give us details:

“That day I was near the European Quarter in Brussels. I remember making some poor shots with posters on walls and people passing by. 

Then I saw these strawberries on the ground and just waited for the right person to walk by. This woman came and I knew I had a good shot!” Nathanaël’s winning photo is part of a series called "From Brussels with Love" that can be seen on his website www.nathanaelfournier.com/brussels and on PrivatePhotoReview https://www.privatephotoreview.com/2018/07/from-brussels-with-love/.

I'I not sure who he is waving to but I think it was tying to tell me that he did not want his photo made, he did it so quickly that I had captured it while he was waving his Name. . . . . . . #35mmstreetphotography #streetphotography #colourstreetphotography #colorstreetphotography #streetphotographer #street_photographer #streetphotographers #streetphotog #streettogs #spicollective #streetphoto #streetshooter #streets_storytelling #everybody_street #streetphoto_color #streetphoto_colour #thisismystreet #streetstyle #urbanphotography #socialdocumentaryphotography #documentaryphotography #docphoto #docphotography #london_uk #london #cityoflondon #michaelwayneplant (at London, United Kingdom)

POTM - Behind the Shot!

Congratulations are in order to Sonja Bachmayer, April’s Picture of the Month winner! Our theme - Girl Talk - had to be communication between females, but it could be nonverbal, we said. The winning shot was just that. 

Sonja's photo is timeless. We assume the two women know each other, but is that assumption based on their hair colour? If they do, what has happened between them just before the shot was taken? If not, are they attempting not to catch each other's eye? Sometimes it's best not to know and to formulate your own story.

Redheads, Venice 2011

Here’s the story behind the shot, from Sonja:

“I took this shot nearly eight years ago, with my first digital camera, a new Canon 400D, which did an amazing job for me over many years. When I arrived in Venice, after an exhausting 10-hour train ride from Vienna, I was completely wasted. What I didn’t know was that this would be the only sunny day in Venice on that trip.

Then I saw the redheads - the light in their hair on Piazza del Marco - and I knew it was the perfect shot.

Over the next four days it kept raining and I had to change my plans. I decided to take a photo series about Venice in the pouring rain. Here are just two from that series:

I also designed a book that you can preview here: 

https://www.blurb.com/b/2260183-la-pioggiavenecia-2011

The book is about the rain in Venice.”
