Shot by Rinzi Ruiz. Phenomenal light!

For the first day of my introductory street photography workshop, I was very impressed to see all the great photos everyone took! We were able to edit/post-process each of the photos with one another using Lightroom 3 and Silver Efex Pro, and the results look great. Read more to check out all of the photos!

* I’m having an Intermediate Street Photography Workshop in Downtown LA on August 27-28th. Shoot me an email at erickimphotography@gmail.com for more info!

  • http://silentxpression.wordpress.com/ Simon Wallerstedt

    Many great photos. Hard to pick a favorite, but I think I’ll go with the 5th from Joel Sheiner.

  • http://www.mittleresgrau.de Till Schramm

    Yes, hard to pick a favorite, really. Congrats to all participant

    I’d go with Daniel Schaefer’s 5th picture, being the image that clicked with me the most.

    I think Ibarionex Perello has the strongest photography overall, but lacks focus as a series.

    I enjoyed Rob LaRosa pictures also. In my opinion, he presents the most concise series.

    For the most part, I like the photo’s. My only issue would be with the first group. Two of them were shots of people’s backs with no interesting story to tell from that. Just a boring shot that anyone can do. Otherwise, nice work.

  • Rick in Hong Kong

    GREAT! Good job everyone!

    beverly- 4,5
    daniel- 4,5
    derriel- 1,2,4,5
    eric- 1,4,5
    erin- 1,4
    ibarionex- 3,4
    joel- 2,4
    marq-1,5
    norman- 3
    rinzi-3,4
    rob- 1,2
    todd- 1,2,5
    These are the best in my opinion. The rest of the shots are not focused or do not have a real idea or story.
    Looks like everyone had fun.

  • ed

    My picks:

    Almario – 1, 2, 5 … i like the juxtaposition shots
    Perello – 2 … bald headed guy contrasts against the dark background
    Ruiz – 4, 5 … perfect timing on #4 and a juxtaposition shot on #5

    Looks like a great time was had by everyone.

  • http://www.facebook.com/surja.gain Surja Gain

    most are ok.. nothing exceptional though. But then since i live in Calcutta, in comparison this place looks just too tame.

  • Debra Ekas

    Nice collection, It looks like a good time was had.
    My favorites are:
    Schaefer #5
    Almario #4
    Kim #5
    Perello #3
    Linden #3 and #5

  • http://profiles.google.com/briancscott Brian Scott

    I had planned to comment on which photo I liked the most but there are way too many to pick from. Lots of great shots.

    • http://erickimphotography.com/blog Eric Kim

      Most definitely ;)

  • Elconnero

    I cant wait to come to the next one you have.

  • Beto P. Bass

    Rinzi’s photos, by far, stand out with that extra “something” that not everyone can produce by just purchasing a fancy camera. great shots!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=561027789 Adrian Boliston

    My favourites are:
    1) La Rosa – the shot with the girls and the “passenger loading only” sign.
    2) Xavier – the shot of the girl walking on the big yellow arrow on the road

    (and of course Eric’s shot of the “attitude” lady with big earrings)

  • braille

    Komatsu #4- Don’t have to be blurry or B&W to be good street
    Schaefer #3- strong composition and details
    Almario #1- toss up with #3 for great color and interesting subject,
    but the composition and mood of #1 won out
    Kim #3- Reflections and almost hidden subject
    Xavier #2- I’m a sucker for the off kilter point of view and the light and composition are great
    Perello #2- Great use of negative space
    Sheiner #2- Juxtaposition of dueling subjects and interesting graffiti
    Linden #2- Interplay with the subject
    Estrologo #2- Composition and ambiguity of subject, reflection like quality
    Ruiz #1- Color, light, expression… feels like you were there
    LaRosa #5- Seperatio of subject by framing
    Hatakeyama Really hard to pick, could be #1 for off kilter and mood or #4 for the movie like scene evolving, but I keep being drawn to #3 because its sounc an intimate portrait feel it makes me want to talk to the guy.
    My overall personal favorite is Estrologo #2, but I honestly think Sheiner #2 is too close not to mention.
    Great work by all. And it does look like you hade fun.

    • http://erickimphotography.com/blog Eric Kim

      Definitely was a ton of fun–thanks for the feedback Randall!

    What a great selection of shots. Looks like you guys had a blast!

    One of my faves is definitely Derriel Almario #4. Love the expression through the window and the relfection in the glass. Nearly a double exposure effect. Really feeling this one.

  • http://www.facebook.com/lauri.saksa Lauri Saksa

    I think Derriel Almario #4 is really the strongest of the set. Nice colour in the light and a really surreal feeling. This is a really nice moment when everything came together.
