Photo Project: Series 1


The photographer I chose to emulate was Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Bravo worked within the genre of street photography. Most of Bravo's subjects were shop windows, everyday streets and interactions. Manuel Álvarez Bravo's photography was meant to capture 'Mexican identity'. I attempted capture culture in San Francisco like Manuel did Mexico by shooting the similar subjects as he did. My subjects for this series consisted of some sort of religious advertisement, graffiti/tagging on buildings and a scene of two people crossing the street.
