There’s an interesting read about David Solomons’ Brazilian street photography of over at ‘And then came the shot’.

David recently became a member of the prestigious street photography collective, iN-PUBLiC, and this series is the first of many to be featured at the HardCore Street Photography group on flickr.

If street is your thing then you should go check it out.

David Solomons: London is my home town so I feel more like I belong there which maybe allows me to take more liberties as it were. I was a foreigner in Brazil and as such I felt more compelled to respect their cultural sensitivities. Many people there aren’t so keen on having their picture taken as they feel they’re being exploited by foreigners. Many of the poorer Brazilians are happy to pose for you if you pay them but I found doing the candid type of work I normally do problematic. So yes, I shied away a lot more from the ‘in your face’ type of shot and took a more wide angle environmental approach instead.
