APOY 2012 Round 7 Street Photography

22nd September 2012
It feels great to have another one of my pictures selected for this prestigious competition and even better to get into the top 30. My image was taken in St Werburgh's in Bristol on a cold dark winter's evening and depicts a graffiti artist (barely visible in the top right corner) hard at work.
Suddenly a passer-by enters the scene from the left.
I wanted him right there under the face on the wall and seemingly threatened by the arrow pointing directly at him.
So I needed a bit of luck, a bit of vision and a bit of patience till the right person came along.
This picture came in at number 11 and is published in this week's copy of Amateur Photographer magazine. It'll be on their website soon but here it is anyway. Hope you like it.
