What a nice lady 💖🎉 🎊 She Has Compassion♥️

i like Sandra's approach very much, this is what street photography is about1 Too see the human bihand the statistic!
Sandra I admire you so much! I do agree that these people are great family people that just come to this country to earn a living and help their families. What a connection you made with them, you're right is not easy but you made these shots touching and human. keep up the great work!
blessings!
Idee is nice ,but the pictures are a little bit boring,try to "make" pictures rather than "taking" pictures!

thank you Sandra for sharing and for opening our eyes. Youre a wonderful artist! Justly what our people needs!
Great story! Love the father aspect of these people. It really humanizes them.
This is wonderful, Sandra. Just ran into it.
Everyone should know it takes some warming up before one gets in "the swing", in photography or any other activity. We may expect to see her taking amazing shots off the bat, but her priority is making a connection with people. She is doing much more besides taking pictures. It takes some time for people to stop being self-conscious in front of a camera. Once they start ignoring the fact that you're shooting, then you can start worring about composition and what not.
It is something that most of street photographers (or ones not into storytelling) will never understand it.
I do have great respect for people who are trying to make something of themselves, and I can only imagine how far this lady has gone since the time this video was recorded. However, people who are convinced that insulting others makes them any "better", and try to argue something they don't even understand is a complete different story. ***** says: Well, that was uninteresting; And by way this person speaks/thinks, she/he clearly isn't interested in anything worth our time here. Here's to prove you cannot leave the responsibility of your own happiness in the hands of others, or in mere consumption. You'll just end up disappointed and bitter.
Thank you Sandra, very good work. Que buen trabajo.. please continue

i really liked your work
It seems to me that the work of many these so called street photographers often depend on taking lots and lots and lots of casual motives with things and people sticking into the frame. I miss the photographer's reflection and the actual art of composing???
I bet that any person with a camera and the will to take 500 pictures every day would come up with just as many "interesting" streetpictures!
Great job! In what publications does your work appear, Sandra? Are you able to make a living, or part of one, with your photography?
Yes really good photography, and at the same time trailing a cameraman around as well! Must have been difficult to melt into the background.
@6tryphon6 - Try it yourself. I'll bet anything that you fail miserably. Street photograhy is one of the hardest genres to practice and to do well. You have to anticipate, see, compose, "reflect" on the frame -- all in a split second. Real street photography is NOT random snapshots devoid of compositional considerations. It's anything but. And if you don't believe me, take up your own challenge...
@paulparanoid
Yes you are right...I would probably fail lots of shots, but I would also be able to make some decent shots based on random movements and compositions not to mention backgrounds that I bet most people do not control 100 %. You mention "reflection" in a split second. But shooting every 10'th second like she does at the beginning of the clip doesn't excactly show any sign of reflection to me. She probably shoots some interesting pictures but probably just as many boring ones.
Bravo. Journalism here.
Great news, I use 17-40mm f4L for street as well :)))
@paulparanoid
I don't know what triggers your temper!!! We all share different oppinions! There are...and have been lots of pro photographers in this world who don't even find Bresson very interesting, while he commented negatively on the new photograpers that suddenly "provoked" and changed the streetstyle that he represented back in time. I've photographed almost any style since 92, so just because I do not fall on my ass due to admiration of her doesn't give you the right to be rude.
@6tryphon6 - Or, maybe you are a photographer -- who works solely in static, controlled conditions like in the studio with trees. Ironically, it's those kinds of photographers who are most hostile to street. And ignorant of it. Why? Maybe because they *need* that control and resent those who don't? Dunno. But, all the masters will tell you that for every "keeper" there are tons of failuires that you've never seen. That includes those who photograph slowly. Learn more, spout off less.
