Emotions
by Don Scott
Street photography speaks an international language. The emotions that fill the frame can be understood around the world.
When I am walking on the street, looking for photos, I usually repeat a mental mantra: “Look for interesting people and strong interactions.” I am drawn to scenes where people are showing their emotions. I have seen hearty laughter and vehement arguments. I have observed couples; some who seem deeply in love and others who seem on the verge of breaking up. I have witnessed frustration and elation. Even though emotions in some of these scenes run very high, these subjects don’t seem to care that they are displaying their feelings in public. These are the scenes I search for on the street.
