“Everybody Street illuminates the lives and work of New York’s iconic street photographers and the incomparable city that has inspired them for decades. The documentary pays tribute to the spirit of street photography through a cinematic exploration of New York City, and captures the visceral rush, singular perseverance and at times immediate danger customary to these artists. Covering nine decades of street photography, “Everybody Street” explores the careers and influences of many notable photographers––a number of whom have never been documented, featuring: Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, Jill Freedman, Bruce Gilden, Joel Meyerowitz, Rebecca Lepkoff, Mary Ellen Mark, Jeff Mermelstein, Clayton Patterson, Ricky Powell, Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper, and Boogie, with historians Max Kozloff and Luc Sante." |

Photography of Clayton Patterson
At the top is a picture of Clayton Patterson’s work.
This picture was in 1986 and captures a young woman looking rather like a clown. The image captures her with her mouth wide open and her eyes looking terrified and her hands up her nails are painted red and on her ears are shiny earings. We could say that this photograph captures her looking terrified but on the other hand we could say maybe shes trying to terrify someone else rather then her being terrified.

These images are a slideshow of surfaces i have taken over 15 photos in order to show what surfaces are in photography. My first photo i took of a surface was on a display wall if you look closely and carefully you will see that it is taken though a display window. Another few photos i took in my opinion are the best to me it captures surfaces on floors i used drains, building walls, and floor
tiles. L |

For my street photography we were went into London town and I took a variety of photo's for this project, I decided to capture photos
that would be of London and capture its artistic street style, i started to take photos of basic things like street signs, then started to photos of other photos in the exhibition we went to I wanted to do this because I thought it would give the project an insight to what i think London is and what it is from an artists prospective. After this i started to took more photos of London it self like its buildings, streets, and its objects around the streets. I thought if I wanted to capture London i had to capture everything in it not just its buildings as theres more to its streets then just that.
I then started to take some pictures of the buildings as they have played a large part of London and so have its street shops I also went into some shops and started to take some photos of some of the objects in the shops i did this because i wanted to show what kind of stuff London had. I then started taking more urban pictures of it like the market i also feel this plays a large part in London as , the peeled of walls with used cups i wanted to try and get the sides of London so that they the project would be presented well. I was influenced by Lorenzo Vitturi as his exhibition was inspired around London and its urban culture. He then inspired me to do something similar.
