Spotted street on a contrasting wave

There are many different styles and creative techniques in street photography. Someone shoots cleanly, aesthetically, someone minimalistic. But there are also those who shoot like me: dirty, imperfect, with an abundance of details.

I like to overload the frame with details – there is something to see!

And from a distance, the picture looks like a pattern or carpet.

Perhaps in the future I will study other styles, but so far I have been attracted by geometric – attention to shapes and lines.

It's strange, but for a long time I don't want to take a telephoto lens for shooting such scenes.

Last year I kind of worked out my style by shooting on telephoto.

And now I like the more realistic scale that a standard lens gives.

Maybe, after all, the view is used to a wider angle and a classic clear perspective.

Maybe I've played enough with the compression of the plane.

Now it seems to me that the telephoto lens acts as a technical device, and not a response of the soul.

That is, the response to reality can be captured on an ordinary lens with an ordinary scale, and a telephoto lens implies seeing through a tunnel, that is, looking for compositions in the distance.

And it turns out that a long-focus lens is just a trick, a deception.

Maybe I'm just on that frequency for now.

And in the future I will think differently.

The telephoto lens is still my favorite lens, but not for shooting in the street genre anymore.
