got to agree with you
particularly a lot of the colour ones
london is a great city for street shots and definitely some of these would be easy to capture there but many of them look posed

Just because his photos are good doesn't mean they are posed.
He's clear that his commissioned work is set-up. None of the other shots need to be posed.

had some of his photos were b&w the whole "decisive aspect" of it won't be as effective as with color. thats what i hate about color. you could just play with colors and make the picture look interesting. where as with b&w everything has to work together like music.

Thanks for the link John.
Stuart's photos and his interview seem to suggest that he's an "honest" street photographer.
I like him.
Cheers,
Dave

some of the most famous photos in history of photography were staged.
Capa's The Falling Republican Soldier
Doisneau's, The Kiss
Weegee's The Critic (poor woman making critical face at two rich ladies)
Eugene's smith, The Wake and Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath.
and many more... photography is not an honest medium.

I don't know, there's nothing in them that seems implausible for a practicing street shooter. Life is full of surprises, one just gotta have a camera ready.

i agree. if you are looking in the right direction and you are also patient, you'll see them.

Yup, making a good color photo is just that easy 🙄
Then again why bother shooting in color since it will never be "music" like B&W?

One could argue that color is harder to use...

I really enjoyed his photos and I find the critique of them a bit misguided and smacking of envy. They perhaps look posed as a result of a good deal of patience on his part...or maybe he just raised the camera at the right moment. Either way, he was there.
I think the negative comments against his work are a bit rich coming from members of a forum that is filled with images of cats, lawn chairs and brick walls.
And I disagree completely that they lose something due to the fact that they are in color. When I was a press photographer in Washington, DC and we had the White House Press Photographers Association annual image contest, the running joke was that you could take any image convert it to Black & White and win an award with it.
Everyone has their opinions but the negativity kinda got to me today. I hope everyone has a terrific weekend.

I agree GA... not to mention his site proves he can do B&W well anyway. Good thing he wasn't using a digital camera or people would have been really crazy in here. 🙂

i liked his work i just thought they looked posed in some cases, but having just spent a week in london I can believe he got them without poses its a very alive city, more than many i've been to (that may be the bitter talking though)
