Ricky Powell Photography
"Powell’s photographs focus on the organic New Yorker. His photographs simultaneously convey intimacy and detachment, as they provide a unique lense through which the viewer can analyse the mundane." Ricky Powell takes pictures from different angels and position, he likes to focus on his pictures, and take them in different places.

The thing I find interesting about this picture, it that this picture has been taken inside the water. Also I like the way that the man in the middle, the face expressions he does on the window.
Analysis...
The setting in this picture has been taken in New York. The things thats going in this picture that theres shops behind and theres a girl wearing a beanie. The picture is in colour, but I think it looks nice in colour this is because if it was in black and white, I dont think you could see the details in the picture. The composition of this image is that shes standing on the left hand side of the picture, the background is really calm there isnt no one around, the place is really clean and every organised. I think that the girl she was a bit close to the camera because the background is unfocused. She was probably standing somewhere and the photographer had changed the angle of the camera. The angle of point of view is that the photographer is standing the same height as the girl, so they both feel the same connection. There isn't that much information in this image. The girl has zoomed herself in the picture, this means that she wants attention. The 2 questions I would of love to ask the photographer to understand the picture better will be; What kind of subjects interests you?, Why did you take a picture of the girl?
What I Learned About Street Photography From The Film 'Everybody Street'

Evaluation
The image I have chosen, on the left is the best one, this is because it shows how long the link is and how high it is! You can see the angle from the boy stand below the link and the students on the link. To make this picture even better I could of unfocused a bit more of the picture and its over exposed.

Henri Cartier-Bresson
Similarities
The similarities are that these two pictures by Henri Cartier-Bresson that both are black and white, and the thing i have notice is that both of the picture they are all looking at one direction; for example the first picture all of the audience are all looking up, and the second picture is all all of the men are looking through a telescope towards the camera. Probably the people in the audience they saw something going on so they all reacted the same and looked towards that point.
Differences
The differences are that the two pictures were taken in a different angle and also that the are different people in each picture. Both of the pictures they are doing different things; For Example the first picture the men and women are looking up but we don't know what and the second picture the men are looking through the telescope looking at the camera.
Helen Levit
Similarities
Both of the images are black and white, and also the reason why I have chosen these two images is that each girl in each picture is that they are both looking somewhere and giving them an intense look. There are 2 children in the images. In both pictures the photographer has stood in the same angle and position .
Differences
The differences in these two images are that the second image have chosen the photographer has made the background is jet black, but the have used a lot of light on both of the little girls. Image 1 that i have chosen she is playing with her friend or they might be stranger? We don't know... and in the 2nd image the little girl is looking out towards the left hand side and also you can see a little girl just peaking up.
