Since I started taking street photographs I have noticed how
unanimated we are most of the time. That’s not a criticism as there’s no reason
why we should wave our arms around as we walk down the street. However,
expressions and gesticulations make for good photographs and are exactly what I
look out for as I wander through the street markets. This guy being a good but
uncommon example.
Young children are the obvious exception to the general rule
and are always likely to be a bit more lively and hence photogenic. Strangely,
after kids, groups of adolescent boys and groups of elderly women seem to be
the most animated.
