street as a theatrical tableau

street photography / academic project

  • Shopkeeper standing in the doorway of a small shop
  • Text slide, the concept: “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players” (Shakespeare). Streets are everywhere, with many elements and layers; moments captured as a theatrical tableau. If life is a play, aren't streets the stages?
  • Text slide, the thought flow: starting blank, a teacher's advice to continue, going out to the streets, and leaving a comfort style of single subjects to find the layers of streets that give life to a city.
  • Looking up past the edge of a building at a blue sky with clouds
  • Man in a yellow shirt walking past a blue car with a roof rack
  • Woman with a braid walking past a concrete wall at a building site
  • Rider on a white scooter passing a weathered red wall
  • Shop window with a perfume poster reading “wear fragrance with style”
  • Women in black abayas walking past a street stall of colourful clothes
  • Two men walking past a row of shops displaying framed pictures
  • Women reflected in a bakery display case filled with sweets
  • Mannequin in a pale green outfit standing in a shop doorway
