Ask HN: What do you take pictures of and show your best photographic work

1 pointsmadscphoto3y ago1 comments

Hello everyone. As a photographer I always find it fascinating to see other's work and how they approach composition etc. and I am sure some of you feel the same. In this spirit I thought I would start a thread dedicated to this, as I feel that I generally lack good feedback and that it is one of the pillars of growing as a photographer.

So please, give a short description in general of the genre of photography you do (so as to not just be a thread full of non-descript links), share your work and maybe some of the pictures you deem to be your best with a little story of how it came to be.

I can't wait to see your photos!

I generally only photograph a lot when I am traveling, and as I am in the middle of a 8 month-ish trip through Latin America at the moment, that means pictures of the various countries such as Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Panama etc. I love to take documentary or candid pictures of interesting people, as well as of some of the beautiful nature I am traveling through.

One of my personal favorite photos I've taken came about by venturing into a smaller fruit and vegetable market in Copacabana, Bolivia just on the shore of Lake Titicaca. While browsing for avocados a little girl suddenly went running around with an empty box on her head and I managed to catch a moment where her bigger sister was observing her while she was next to the produce. (Please do tell if my Flickr links do not work)

A favorite newer landscape photo of mine was captured in the Puracé national park in Colombia. We were on a tour through the park and while observing the view at one point, the light poked selectively through the clouds to illuminate only certain parts of the green landscape.

I share my highlights on Instagram, and use Flickr primarily as a private backup. You can see more of my photos at the link below.
