I start doing street photography when I was in an undergraduate study back in Indonesia. At that time, I was joining a uni photography club. They invited me to stroll around the city of Bandung and taking a photo on the street. At first, I find it boring and tiring because it took some time and efforts to do streets photography.
Fast forward to a few years later, I've been living in Sydney for 2 years. At my spare time, I like to go to a book store and doing some free reading at it (sorry, don't have money to buy lol). I found and images of an angel on the street of New York and I find it fascinating.
It was Peter Lindbergh's in December 1993 and his photos for Harper's Bazaar, where Amber Valletta was given a role as an angel who had untouchably arrived in New York. This shoot was mended to be one of the most delicate and energetically series he has made.
I realized I need to recreate this photo set with my own style and will take it in Sydney CBD. As we live in modern time, we have a luxury of the internet. In there I found a sun compass when I can check the position of the sun at the exact time. In addition, I also have a look myself to check the good shooting spot for this.
I found out the street photography course I took back when I was in undergraduate study taught me a lot about this kind of shooting.
Last but not least, thank you to @phoebsalot @ebonyeathorne and @hunterfranksmakeup for willing to join me strolling the Sydney CBD. I know is tiring but the photo is amazing. Thank you so much!
