Danny Santos II – Street Photography

A graphic designer by trade, Danny Santos II has been photographing the streets of Singapore since July 2008. When he got his first DSLR, he started to see all these street photographs on flickr and knew immediately that’s what he wanted to do. So Danny started to camp on Orchard Road every weekend and has been shooting there ever since. Two years later, he was finally able to get a good collection of photos. Experimenting heavily with light, framing in heavy crowds, and even with the rain, Danny took candid shots with every subject being a stranger, until just recently. Danny has started a project called “Portraits of Strangers” where he started asking permission to take portraits of select strangers. So far he’s compiled 46 portraits and plans on reaching 100 strangers by the middle of this year. One of his favorites in the series is the first picture below.

The Stunning Effects of Curtains in Photography

Light is everything in photography and being able to find the perfect rays to make a picture great may take all day, or all week! If the sun isn’t just working out for you directly, you can turn to diffusing the light some how. A window can provide a nice natural light setting. Curtains drawn across the window that allow light to come through may offer something even more stunning. The perfectly filtered light may be just what you’re looking for. Curtains can also play a part as a great background, foreground, or just by itself the subject of the photo. Most everyone has some sort of curtains laying around somewhere so they are easy to access and cheap to use. Whether you’re looking to frame a shot or get that perfect portrait, finding the right curtains might take you longer than finding the perfect light for your next photography session.
