Fort Worth [street]

Single Images | Street | Texas

The third day out practicing some street photography and I felt more in the grove today than yesterday. So why do street photography? Street Photography is a way to practice capturing creative photographs of people and places in an uncontrolled environment. I like to walk around a city and press the shutter at anything that strikes out to me. [ [compositions, light, people, moments] This type of photography is hard; because, well, to some people, it’s scary taking pictures of people on the street without permission. You have to master your approach and figure out what to do if something goes wrong. I started carrying a book of my photographs with me. This book is to help share my work and passion with anyone that gets upset or someone I may want to create a portrait with.

Walking the Streets

Single Images | Street | Texas

Back when I was living in Los Angeles, I walked the streets a lot and practice the way I would photograph people and moments that would happen. I took me years to get brave and good at this and I mean years. There was a time I would get three feet of a person and make frames of them. Since COVID I have not been out as much on the streets. Today I went out for the second time this year to photograph the downtown area. Now, Dallas is a really difficult place to take part in street photography, there are not a lot of people walking around and there really is not anything going on. In Los Angeles you would always find so much culture and just random shit happening. When I go out the goal is to break personal boundaries and to create one interesting photo. So here is that photo.

I like this photo because its a scene I have not seen a lot of in the last year. Two strangers talking to one another without a mask.

An Old Roll

Single Images | Editorial | Texas

There is something about film that I cannot explain. Its an older medium that brings to light some creative and mysterious photographs. I had a roll of film called 120, I had shot this roll with a old medium format camera that I do not have anymore. This roll some how sat and survived years of travel and movement. The roll was shot in 2010 and I was shocked by three images I created.

Photo Essay | Texas | Family

I’m the type of person that brings a camera with me everywhere I go, I enjoy looking through a camera in my life. My family has become the most photographed thing in my world and it’s important to me to document our lives. These pictures get created into little books each year highlighting the personality, adventures, and emotions of our family. When I take these pictures I think, if only I can take pictures like this when I am around non-family. That’s my goal as a photograph to be able to have no second thoughts or doubts when doing my work, to photograph everything as I do with my family. Photos by: Chris Rusanowsky / American Reportage
