Markus Hartel


Markus Hartel is a street photographer based in New York. The image above really stood out to me because it has a similarity to my work in the way that there is a lot of open space in the images like in some of mine. Another thing I like about Hartel's work is that he has high contrast in his work which I think works really well and would like to include in some of my images. 
On his website he talks about what his impression of street photography is. He says that it is 'candid pictures of things that you don't notice in your daily grind.' which is what I love about street photography. Its things you don't notice on an everyday basis composed in a simple way that everyone can see, the photographs are just pointing it out to people. 
The attention to detail in Hartel's work is what interests me. Every aspect of his images adds to the photograph. This is another thing I want to try and add into my images.
