Uh, hey guys! I actually have a comic I’m publishing on Webtoon right now. It’s called Monochrome Photograph and it updates every Monday! If you wanna check it out, that’d be awesome! I know it’s not fanart, but this is what most of my artistic time is going to (rather than fandoms), so I thought i should let y’all know. I wanna try drawing more YGO content, but this is all I have to offer for now.

You know by now I’m very fond of patterns and stories. While looking for the photo to publish today I found this one that I thought would fit perfectly with the previous two (and within the same row in my feed). You see, first there was the married couple, then the “preacher” and the cross, now of course I had to focus on another character of the story: the photographer. ☺️ This was shot at a very interesting exhibition in London (still running until the 8th) where there’s this corridor showing a clear separation between light and shadow. I’m glad I found this dude there because when I went it was pretty empty… 😅 My friend @christian.cross__ has another brilliant shot taken in the same corridor, perhaps even better than mine because you don’t see the floor (I went for symmetry here). I also had for once to rely on Photoshop to remove a big distraction from the floor (a small part of a sculpture) and I mirrored the image to make it play with the previous two. I suppose some will call it cheating, but I have a story to tell here and that is how I made this image part of the bigger plot 😉 Anyway, on a completely different note, Black Friday is round the corner. Are you prepared? Monitoring your inbox and favourite websites for the best deals? Well, if I were you I would turn on the notifications on my account… Just saying 😉 Perhaps you saw the clue in my stories yesterday. Just be ready, it’s all I’m saying.

“The Commuters”. This photo is taken from the exact same spot as the previous one, only a handful of minutes before and turning right rather than left. The area behind the walkers is a cinema and normally those rectangles of light would be the back lights of the film posters they hang there. But this day there were no posters, only lights. Which, of course, suited me pretty well 😄 I must have shot about 200 photos of this scene, trying to get people walking in “the right way” in front of these lights. I think that I would have preferred to have only the 4 subjects framed by the light in the picture without the woman in front. Something that perhaps would have reminded of the famous Beatles LP cover. But I’m more than happy to settle for this one 🤗 
(let’s pretend it’s Yoko Ono). Something I had never tried before this shot was cranking up the ISO so much (here I’m at ISO 6400, F/4, 1/320s on my 35mm). Coming from landscape photography, my mindset was trained to keep the ISO low and eventually use a longer shutter speed while mounting the camera on a tripod. But most of the subjects in that case are static so it’s OK. 
With street, I learned while shooting that higher ISO are perfectly fine (sort of a pun if you like), because character, emotion and “capturing the moment” are more important than sharpness . And at night, with very little light, if you want to freeze action like if you want to photograph commuters, then you must raise the ISO and don’t be afraid of it. It also helps to shoot with a Fujifilm camera because it really handles the low light very well. I know I always sound like a fanboy when I talk about Fuji but I really love it. It’s the brand that got me back into photography, so I’ll always be grateful. Hope you enjoy this one too. Still showcasing London photos to tease my workshop with John Hughes coming in 2 weeks… 😉 — #bwphotography #bwphotoshoot #monochrome_photography #monophoto #fujistreetphotography #ig_streetphotography #streetphotographymagazine #worldstreetphotography #streetphotographyhub #prophotography #photoforyou #photographylessons #photoofstreet #streetphotography #streetvisions #photoinblackandwhite (at South Bank London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4iKP0AAFcU/?igshid=15bj4wvpvpw4t
