Granada | in tapas ..in progress

Posted on December 23, 2011 by heather

Using the article in the Guardian from 2008 The Top Ten Tapas in Granada we embarked upon eating and drinking our way around Granada with just my little 35mm lens. It was a bit tricky at times with no not much elbow room at the bar and so much going on all around. Behind the bar in spain is a performance of skill, memory and professionalism, no faffing and I Love the fact that bars in Spain are men only ; focussed with no dizzy blondes ..and I am a blonde and dizzy, but i was actually good and quick behind the bar

Sailor Jerry Presents Cerebral Ballzy

Posted on November 15, 2011 by heather

Sailor Jerry Presents gigs was in London this month with Brooklyn punks Cerebral Ballzy bringing their riotous brand of 80’s hardcore and punk rock to an eager Hoxton crowd. It was full most bit option ..and the photographers lasted around 30 seconds before being kicked out of the way with their camers between their legs… only to keep trying again – I ended the night with a bruised eye and decided to shoot the band and stge action from the side of the stage. My eyesight and camera are just too vital tools that i need to retain ..

Street photography; ethics, rights and the future

Posted on October 17, 2011 by heather

Legally, the position of photography in a public space is clear-cut: there are no legal restrictions on taking a photograph of strangers in a public space. However, negative moral beliefs about street photography are developing out of public fears relating to personal identity, misrepresentation, paedophilia and terrorism.

The ethical issues associated with street photography primarily concern invasion of privacy; invasion in the form of intrusion; portraying subjects in a false light; embarrassment; and image appropriation. All these ethical issues intensify the debate between the subject’s right to privacy and a photographer’s right to freedom of expression.

Also relevant to the future of street photography and its ethics are the advent of social networking and online image-sharing, and concerns about identity and representation; the Millennial generation has new notions of public and private which may shape ethical behaviour and the law on photography in public places.
