Photoshoot and Beyond
Category: Street. Photograph: “Kiss in Girona” by Jordi Corbilla (username “Jordi Corbilla” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Why I picked this image: As a street photographer I do encounter many scenes of people kissing in public. And each time I have to make a decision if it is ok for […]
Category: Street. Photograph: “IMG_9809 ” by Johnny [Shakedown] (username “Johnny [Shakedown]” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Why I picked this image: Besides the symmetry that was used for the composition of this image, there is also a strong documentary story captured in this one image. On the one side we […]
Category: Sports Photograph: Sylvain Armand by Ryu Voelkel Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Sometimes in sports, it’s not always about the action. In this photo, Sylvain Armand is upset either from losing or making an error on the field. When you’re in the field shooting, it’s important to keep an eye out for emotional […]
Category: Street. Photograph: “black diamond” by Torsten Koester (username “Torsten Köster” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Why I picked this image: There are few reasons that made me pick this image. First of all I like the symmetry with the diagonal lines crossing over the circle (kudos to the architect). […]
Category: Sports Photograph: by Paul Rutherford Originally shared on the Photofocus Facebook community right here. Paul did a great job capturing a self portrait with a soccer ball. The lighting is nice in contrast with the intense sky behind him. One of the toughest parts when taking the photo is watching the framing, and Paul nailed it. He kept […]

Why I picked this image: How could I have not picked this image? This image was captured by Sohail in Pakistan and shows a scene that he encountered on the street. Two […]
Category: Sports Photograph: by Foo Tee Fok Originally shared on the Photofocus Facebook community right here. This is a great frame from the X30 Challenge in Singapore. Foo Tee Tok shot fast enough to freeze the cart but slow enough to partly blur the tires and water spray. My one suggestion would be to play around with […]
Category: Street. Photograph: “Symmetry” by Alessio Orrù (username “Alessio Orrù” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Why I picked this image: This image caught my attention because it combines nice symmetry with a human element. Judging by the shadows this image was captured on a sunny day. But due to underexposure […]
Category: Sports Photograph: by Greg Sims Originally shared on the Photofocus Facebook community right here. A great sports photo not only captures the action, but also shows the focus of the athlete. Greg’s motocross photo is perfectly lit, with a little blur showing the motion of the tires. I love that you can look into the helmet […]
Category: Street. Photograph: “The Ever Patient Friend” by Jim (username “Jim” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Why I picked this image: Street photos always need to have a human in it, right? No! Personally I’m having a fairly loose interpretation on the “rules” of street photography. And animals can be […]
