As part of my location unit, I've been ask to capture street photos that form a 'collection'. I have decided to have my collection focus around dogs because they're so photogenic and they all have different characters. I love working with them. The place that I chose is always my starting point if I want to do some street photography. It's the Newton-Le-Willows' Saturday Market. There is always loads of people and interesting happenings. To get these images, I asked permission from the dog owner first. As they said 'yes', I tried to get on the dogs' level. The owners were so co-operative and they started to posed their dogs. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the photo shoot. The dogs either payed attention of the camera or of their owners. I shot on time value, because the dogs were moving and I didn't want to get any motion blur.

To sum up, I think it was a successful shooting. I was more confident now than I was before (lifestyle shooting) and the most positive development is that I could create rapport between me and the owners. I found that dog owners are more open and friendly. Also, they're co-operative, because they are proud of their dogs.
My final image is an exception, but I had a chance to capture this gorgeous moment between the 2 girls and also I could shot on their level. I just love the nature beauty in this image and the bond between the two. My eyes just moving around in a triangular form. From one face to the holding hands then to the other face. So this image's definitely got a triangular composition.
