Street Photo – Life Wrinkles


How did I get this portrait shot?

I was having my breakfast at the food center when an old man put his glass of coffee on the table opposite me. Then he walked to the sidewalk and sat on a chair for a few moments before coming over to take a few sips.

Street Photos – Rainy Sunday





Raining season is here. It has been raining on and off before and during the Chinese Lunar New Year, from day 1 to 15 which fell on the 5th of February, Sunday. Yeah, it was last Sunday. It was nice weather in the morning and a little overcast at noon. I was inspired to do some street photography at Bencoolen Street and Waterloo Street area. As I arrived at the scene, it started to rain and later a big downpour. What a setback!

The same thing happened today. It was sunny in the morning until the stormy clouds arrived in the afternoon. At the time of writing this blog, it was still raining.

Well, back to last Sunday, nothing stopped me from doing street photography in the rain as I looked for some vantage spots to do the "fishing" technique i.e. looking out for interesting subjects like running/walking in the rain drenching, people in raincoats, etc. So, here are some of the street photos I took during that 2 hours plus of walking from one sheltered spot to another.

I hope you enjoy these photos. Have a great week ahead. Cheers!

Street Photo – Chinese Barber

©2010 Martin Liew Photography

On 15th August 2010, Sunday morning I was roaming around Joo Chiat Road and came across what looked like an antique shop, a Chinese barber at work. I found the whole shop and settings very old-school, especially that old-school barber chair.

I took a quick light reading with my hand-held light meter to determine the "right" exposure and set it accordingly on my Seagull-4A TLR camera. The film used is Ilford HP5 Plus rated at 200. In total, I made two shots and this is the second one. Wanted to go in to have some closer shots but I thought it would be intrusive. Of course, I could ask for their kind permission but I preferred the natural candid style.
