“Instant Inspiration” is my series for you  if you look for something to overcome “Photographer’s Block”  or simply want to shoot something that you have never tried, or at least not recently. With episode 30 (!!) I want to inspire you to go looking for those different kind of face….

Bayreuth | 2019

During the course of the last couple of days, while doing some Street Photography, I came across three oversized faces on buildings in three different cities: Chicago, Dresden and Bayreuth. Which prompted me to do a post about them, as murals (or billboards) with big faces are not that unusual.

So why don’t you pick up your camera and go face-hunting in your own city. You might be amazed what you discover. Look for different ways to place them in your frame, as I show you in my examples here in this post. Look for reflections, frame then in a creative way or put yourself into the image in a nice juxtaposition.

You can also try to include real people in the frame, which can result in great juxtapositions.

So next time your are out with your camera, go looking for that different kind of face.
