Street Photgraphy Research

When it comes to doing street photography i think of the old photos of women in the 60s with their head scarfs and their aprons on chating over a brick wall, always looking like they have had a busy morning cleaning and kids playing on the streets looking dirty and enjoying themselves. I love these type of photos as they always look like everyone has been hard at work and even though life is hard they are happy. I would like to bring this element to my photos and catch that part of their lives.

The photograph above is from John Bulmer from 1960 and is known for how he captured the north and wanted to show the hard times that the north suffered in a commissioned piece from the Sunday Times intittled the north is dead.
