The Finest Photos in International Street Photography

Tension

First Curator's Choice: Decisive Moment
Curated by Michael Ernest Sweet

Jet RabeThis was a memorable shot for me since I was able to capture the kids playing while an airplane was preparing to land. I framed the subjects in such a way that it would present opposing forces on both sides; one kid pulling another one to the left and the plane landing to the right. It was really an intense moment.

Michael Ernest SweetI love this image. It immediately reminds me of a photograph by Joel Meyerowitz, but I think this one is even better than his! Yes, photographer, you‘ve got eyes. The decisive moment is obvious here. But there is a lot more to this image. It‘s cinematic, it has a tension, and it has a story. In fact, I just noticed now, after writing this line that the title is, in fact, Tension. This photographer had to be quick. An inch or two one way or the other and the frame would have been lost. I like that the boy, the central action, is in the center of the frame. The airplane on the right gives the image that added touch. I love it.

Street Photography is my way of creating unique images in public spaces by composing graphics, colors, and fascinating combinations of people and objects in a harmonic but surprising manner.

The Don Bosco Ashalayam (Sanskrit for ' House of Hope') was founded by the Indian social worker and member of Salesians Father Anthony Thaiparamhil in 1986 in the poor of Pikhana (Calcutta-Howrah). Kolkata is one of the largest cities in India and is commonly known as the 'Poor house' of India. The number of children (up to 15 years old) who live on the streets of Kolkata is currently estimated by UNICEF being over 100,000. These figures are inconceivable, they need our help and hopefully through all of our photography we can make a small difference for some of these poor kids.
