Matt Stuart Underground Street Photographer

Matt Stuart is an underground street photographer who is known to have ‘eyes in the back of his head’; gives a very watchful presence in the city of London, capturing unexpected evens without knowing. The work produced inspires me in ways of understanding how a camera captures quick situations unexpectedly. Stuart is fascinated by the lifestyle of people, the way they live their lives in every day scenarios, the work that are captured shares a meaning and a narrative to what is happening in the photo. As he continued his carrier with photography, Stuart focused on the work he produced, helping him capture better photos. Although Stuart does not write about his work he produces, one can take a look and interpret it in its own ways. The photo above taking the inspirations from Stuart’s influence made me feel very uncomfortable when I capturing images in discreet manor.

I used the Canon 7D to shoot the image with an 18 – 200mm lens and an aperture of F 3.5 with an ISO of 800. Stuart’s Image shows darkness at night, which I decided to change my own into Black and white to brighten it up and to show day light rather than night.
