one shot

'leave an impression' by ine87

1. First of all, what's your name and where do you live?
My name is Inés, and I live in Montevideo, Uruguay

2. Do you remember when and where this photo was taken?
This photo was taken more than a year ago (June 2008) in my neighbourhood

3. Did you went out shooting street that day or did you just have a camera with you by coincidence as you saw it?
That day I went out shooting with my boyfriend

4. What made you take this photo? Any story you want to tell with it?
This man is an artist that was hired to paint an ad for Ballantine's. The campaign's claim is "Leave an impression", and that's the title of my photograph too. This scene just caught our attention, it's not normal to see this in my neighbourhood...

5. How did you compose it? Any post-processing?
It was quite a quick shot actually, I didn't have to move around that much. I think I was lucky, the sky's colours that day seemed to be part of the ad.
As for post-processing: levels, colour adjustments, and some minor cropping.

6. How makes it feel you now? What do you think when you look at it? Do you still like it? Anything you think you could have done better?
I still like this photo, but looking back, I should've taken more shots of the same scene. I wouldn't change composition nor the point of view, but I would've waited for the man to be actually painting.

Make sure to visit her deviantART gallery.


'One Shot' is supposed to be a new kind of series, these questions I'll ask several photographers about one particular photo in their gallery. Hope you enjoy.
