Street Photography
Nick Turpin is a street photographer with a bright colourful style of street photography. It is
more uplifting than most street photographers work, which is why I like it. I found when
researching most street photographers work was colourless and boring.
Nick Turpin photographs interesting areas of the streets for example busy London or NY as
well as quiet park areas.
Street Photographer-Nick Turpin
He uses techniques such as matching colours where
certain focus’s in the image have the same colour (bus and
phone). He makes the most of the moment taking effective
shots (2 cyclists passing each other makes it look like
they’re together)

My own Shots

About it- I took this photograph in London incorporating a sign post with the iconic
backdrop of one of the biggest UK attractions, the London Eye.
I manipulated the photo using photoshop. The photo was cropped and the brightness
adjusted.

7. +
About it- I deliberately took this photo with the light behind Big Ben. This helped to create
a silhouette effect with the sun giving good balance in the photograph. This photo has not
been edited and was taken on my phone.

About it- I took this photograph in Carnaby Street. The photo is well balanced putting main
focus on the Carnaby Street sign using the rule of thirds to balance the photo. I then adjusted
the hue/saturation on Photoshop.

9. +
About it- This Photo was also taken in London. This photo is effective because of the
reflections in the glass. I used photoshop to blur out the reflections to keep the focus in the
centre of the photo. I also adjusted the vibrance.

10. +
About it- This photo demonstrates rule of thirds by making the street sign the main focus
of the photograph and the sky background helps to balance the photograph.

11. +
About it- This photo also contains back light. It creates a silhouette effect and helps to
make the photo dynamic.

12. +
About it- I found the original photograph fairly dull and boring to I manipulated it using
photoshop by changing the threshold and filling in with relevant colours.

13. +
About it- Although this photograph is staged, the background of the photo makes an
interesting street photograph with the bikes leading in a trail behind. So in this case the focal
point of the photo is not the only interest of the photo.

About it- I took this photograph in Naples. It was taken in solfatara which didn’t smell too
fresh. This photo has comical effects and has lots of space used.
