All these three approaches to shooting differ in idea and task. In all cases, it will be street photography, but I want to bring this versatility within the same genre.
If I manage to make subsequent posts also in the street genre, then you will immediately understand what I'm talking about.
In the titles of the posts, I will specify which of the worlds will be described now.
I also forgot to mention one world, but it seems to me that it can be attributed to the reportage – these are humorous, ambiguous, with substitutions or overlays.
Perhaps I will make such a world separate someday, but so far it feels like some kind of reportage wave with quirks.
..Recently, all these worlds and genres have been very much overlapping.
I try to explain it every time, but I don't know if I can do it...
If I am more or less able to understand and control these small creative waves (reportage, postcard, spotted, graphic), then there are bigger waves that last longer and I do not know how to control them.
Perhaps I should talk about these big waves more often in order to understand them for ourselves and convey them to others.
If everything is already obvious with the small ones, then the big ones need to be disassembled.
Once upon a time, many years ago, I was on the big wave of landscape photography, where I even took portraits based on the landscape principle...any genre was reduced to landscape or was similar to landscape.
Even when I started shooting streets, there was a landscape touch. Everyone called me a landscape photographer back then.
What do you think they call it now? That's right, a street photographer!
I need to prepare better for the next post about big waves, as I can't formulate some thoughts yet.
Now I'm on a big newsreading wave, where even the landscape will be newsreading.
...And once upon a time the reportage was landscape. These are the absurdities I want to talk about, but I need to structure my thoughts.
And it's also interesting to think about whether it's possible to not be connected to anything at all.
...I've had a big wave of reporting for over a year now.
It was also there for a long time about four years ago, but then it moved away.
I figured out the small waves, now I need to figure out the big ones.
