class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Got it \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Eric Kim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s style in photography, especially for street portraits like this, emphasizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High contrast black and white (harsh shadows, deep blacks, bright highlights)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grainy, gritty textures (embracing imperfections, feeling

distractions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candid or intense gaze (subjects looking directly into the lens or completely unaware, nothing staged or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153overly posed\u00e2\u20ac\u009d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamic composition (strong lines, framing the subject tightly or dramatically)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153In the moment\u00e2\u20ac\u009d energy
