Along Orchard Road

[Toonz]

"imitation" is not a nice word to use, and certainly not the one I would use to describe this thread.
So far, this thread is the only one I've read from the 1st page till the last... great work! keep it up!

thanks wywysimba it's nice to know that you enjoy the pictures.

Well said! I too was inspired by Dannysantos and i look up to him alot as a street photographer, i love his works and was deeply inspired by his works. I have too found what i loved to shoot on the streets. I too shoot the same thing and at the same location as Dannysantos thats because i was inspired to do so. Everyone does the things they like because they were inspired. Its the sharing and learning that matters most instead of labeling others as a "clone" to whomever whom. Bro Toonz, do what you love and enjoy! Hope to bump into you in Orchard someday. Cheers and happy shooting!

thanks weishun for the kind words.

Hi,

I just moved to Singapore a few days ago and this happened to be one of the first threads I browsed in this forum. I think your photos, especially the street portraits, are really really impressive and very inspiring.

Having walked along Orchard Road during my first few days in Singapore, I think I can say, with an open and unbiased mind, that your photos really capture the spirit and nature of the place, and the myriad of people of who frequent it. I really like some of the candids where you've captured bored commuters in contrast to those of excited shoppers. The impression I get from your photos is exactly the same as my first impression of Orchard Road, and for me at least, therein lies the appeal of this thread of work.

I haven't summoned up the courage the ask a random person for permission to take a picture of him or her yet, but looking at your successful efforts, I think will give it a go.

Hope to see more of your work and apologies to other forum users if my comments above are rather generic and similar to those before. I was just really struck by these photos and felt compelled to voice my appreciation !

Love your street portraits shoot.
Admire your courage to ask them for a shot.

Hey there, very good stuff I'd say. you've come a long way, improving since the first post. Definitely a lot of similarities to D. Santos' work but its all good, we all get inspired by others, copy a lil here and there before creating our own styles. All the best with developing your own style in the near future and I'll be looking forward to that!
