44th St. West and 8th Avenue | New York City
The streets of Manhattan are filled with people from all over the world. This gives me the opportunity to capture different cultures and faces on one street corner. I chose to shoot at night with a slow shutter speed to make the photographs more interesting. To prevent camera shake and to be removed from my subjects, I used a tripod and remote camera release. I placed my camera on the corner of 46th and 7th. As people crossed the street, I would click the remote shutter, and the flash would release. Using this technique, I was able to capture the reactions of people as they noticed the camera but no photographer.
