Street Photo – underbar

underbar
©2023 Martin Liew Photography

I was inspired and strongly motivated to do street photography last weekend. I was on alert mode, constantly looking for interesting characters, gestures, body language, facial expressions, human interactions, found objects, etc. And there it was. I was walking along the sidewalk of Bugis+ shopping mall and spotted this man sitting under the mall signboard, if that's what they called it, with that strong peachy pink color tone on his polo T-shirt on par with the same color tone on the letter 'b'.

I titled it 'underbar' because I Google-searched and found there's another name for underscore. That short horizontal pink stripe across the polo T-shirt, positioned right beside the letter 'b', says it all.

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!
