Mobile Photography – Streets Ahead – Forty Fifth Edition (Part 2) – Women’s Street Photography Collective
Welcome to the forty fifth (Part 2) edition of “Streets Ahead,” a weekly column dedicated to women mobile street photographers. Each week we review and curate work that was submitted to our Flickr Group. In addition to creating a showcase video which features a sampling of submitted work, we also highlight a few images that caught our attention… offering some thoughtful commentary about technique, composition, and subject matter.If you are not a member of our Facebook group… we highly recommend that you join us! This is our space for sharing newsworthy information and conducting discussions (what, when, where, why and how) about Women Photographers/Artists and Street Photography, in general.
So, if you are a woman street photographer, please join our growing community… I’m sure that you will agree that we are a very enthusiastic and supportive group of women!!

‘Man on the bus in India’ by Connie Gardener Rosenthal
This capture has all the formal qualities (framing, composition) and the human interest factor that make it just a great image. I kept coming back to this one Connie. Great eye! Great composition!
‘Untitled’ by Lisa Peters
The composition of this photo is just spot-on Lisa! Turning the entire action upside down and placing the shadow up top was a perfect strategy! The diffused, slightly abstracted quality of the shadow, setting it as the primary focal point of the image, makes this work so well. Great capture.
‘Untitled’ by Manuela Matos Monteiro
This photo also has all the compositional elements that keep the viewer’s interest going. The long shadows that slice the cross-walk, and the lateral pedestrian markings that frame the image combine to make a very interesting composition. Lovely Manuela!
‘Leeds Streets. The lady who shopped at Leeds Market’ by Elaine Taylor
This is such a great composition, I love the reductive quality of the formal elements. I especially admire how the old woman’s humped back is echoed in the dark shadow to the lower right of the building. What a beautiful slice of humanity conveyed here. Lovely!
