Black and White Street Photography Projects ranging from the spectacular to the extreme creative which are called "boundary pushing photography" or "experimental" in nature.
Other projects covering the established mid grounds such as reflections, light and shadow and rain and water.Women also feature in their somewhere....it's just the way it is for me? I love photographing them, they love me photographing them?
Not forgetting a smattering of good old traditional street photography where people and moments are more in focus such as the photo opposite called "Happy in Shoreditch"
All photos taken in London unless stated otherwise and reduced quality samples.

Light and Shadow
Fine Art Street Photography photos with the main foundation being Light and Shadow which can include Photos with the main focus being the subject being in shadow or in silhouette.
The human form is reduced to just a shape with no visible features or facial expressions.
High Contrast Black and White is the key and the main subject and focus will always be about the light.

Reflections
London Street Photos with the main subject being reflections and can cross over into the realms of the other project category of rain and water.
Reflective surfaces can include mirrors, plain glass, metal, plastic or any other material.
Water in it's many forms including rivers, canals, lakes, rain drops, and puddles but the result is always a more abstract version of the reality that is being reflected.

Rain and Water
Black and White Street Photography focused on Rain and Water features in a lot of the Fine Art Street Photography work that I do.
Rain Drops, Water Reflections, Puddles, Umbrellas which give a suggestion of rain and water.
All of these and more can give an endless pool of creative opportunities to produce Fine Art calibre Street Photos with that extra indefinable something.

Painterly Blur
ICM Blur Street Photography featuring Artistic and Creative Blur with a painterly effect achieved either through deliberate motion blur, accidental blur that has produced an amazing result, or by Intentional Camera Movement (ICM).
The end result is to create an other worldly look to a photo that defies photographic norms. Sharp and shiny these are not!.

Experimental
Experimental Fine Art Street Photography. The boundary pushing zone, featuring photos that are experimental and "out there" in nature.
Exploring different angles, view points, exposures, focus, macro.... the list goes on and on...blown out highlights being one of my favourites.
Eye brow raising and "Farewell Photography" territory stuff and certainly where the rule book has been thrown out the window.
However there is still an acknowledgement and respect for artistic rules and the "emprical criteria for beauty" which has stood the test of time.

ABSTRACT AND EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT GALLERY
Street
Good old traditional street photography as done by the masters of old but with a modern twist. What is it?
"Street photography is the art of gleaning what is at hand – subjects, lights, shapes – to create beautifully composed and arresting images. It is an artistic form of hunting and gathering, a scavenger hunt led by a conscious or subconscious urge to collect patterns and scenes that offer themselves freely to the mind and eyes of the photographer
quote courtesy Magnum.
Some of my less fine art but more street....street photography as Bruce Gilden says " if you can smell the street...it's a street photograph".
