Man at work

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 5 October 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Some days in the Sydney city centre, no matter how I try, I find nothing. There are lucky days, though, when I find lots of interesting subjects, virtually one straight after the other, as in the case of this new series of city worker shots.

I know all too well what you mean about striking an unexpected line of great shots . . moments like these are what keeps us clicking! I like the characterizations you are bringing out here.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks for your comment. Interesting for me that you use the word "characterizations", because in these shots of workers, I have been attempting to portray them in a specific way... as icons or almost heroic figures in some cases, if you like.

such a cool series of the workers, I love the vibrant colors in this, with him talking into the radio and looking up I imagine he is giving directions to a crane

I can relate to what your saying somedays I walk around the city here to and from work and dont see anything to warrant getting the camera out, other days I may take 100 shots

I like the grid - a nice context for the "human content."

He is saying... "Hey mate... throw a brick on this person with the camera, he just won't leave me alone"... hehehe... there is a small park up near the Intercontinental Hotel it is on a corner... there is a point there that is the centre of the city (I think that is right?) Have you seen the cat 'Trim' (the cat of Matthew Flinders) up at the State Library? You can see his paw prints on the ground... it is great... my fave thing to look at...
