My name is Thomas Leuthard and I’m a street photographer from Switzerland. I started to focus on street photography in 2009 when I decided to take all my photos with an 85mm lens in the streets. After some time I realized that this lens was too long for this purpose. The focal length changed, the name remained and I got closer and closer. Today I take some of my street photos with a 50mm from a very short distance

It was over 35 years ago that I realized that

I really enjoyed photographing women. I soon found out that I really didn’t know

what I was doing, so I bought a copy of famous glamour photographer Peter

Gowland’s book, How to Photograph Women. It was through his mastery and explanation

of the subject that my learning began. From that simple beginning, a career and

love of photography has spanned nearly four decades. I owe him special gratitude for

helping me begin.

Our three previous photography guides have

covered composition, exposure and colour

– now it’s time to look at the element which is the key

infl uence for all three aspects. As a photographer, you

need to learn to love light, appreciate its endless

subtleties and try to make the most of its mood

swings.

The biggest advantage digital has over fi lm is the

fact that you can check your shot once you’ve

taken it. You can bring up a histogram to check the

brightness range of a scene – and make sure you’re not

underexposing or overexposing it.

Just as a composer has to arrange a piece of music, deciding which instruments will work together, which sounds flow and which clash, so it is that a photographer has to construct powerful images from the visual overload hitting them from all directions. To picture a scene through a photographer’s eyes is very different to just looking at it for what it is.

Digital cameras offer today’s photographer

incredible fl exibility. No more carrying two or

more SLR bodies loaded with different fi lm stocks, or a

bag of colour correction fi lters to counterbalance

unwanted colour shifts in different lighting conditions

(well, you can still carry fi lters – more on that later).

A simple observation, that a work of art

is not the literal equivalent of the subject

it portrays, has been long been known to

photographers as well as artists in other

types of media. Since the days of the

Renaissance, painters such as Leonardo

da Vinci have known that perspective

rendering is an optical trick. Many of the

best creations of M. C. Escher exploit the

visual confusion between three-dimensional

reality and the way this reality is portrayed

on a fl at surface.

About the Writer

My name is Thomas Leuthard and I’m a Street Photographer from Switzerland. I travel around the World to document the ordinary life on the street. For me Street Photography is a passion, a way of life and not a job or something I do for a living. That’s why I enjoy doing it in my spare time without any pressure. I will do it for as long as I enjoy it and maybe one day I will do something else. I started writing down my knowledge in May 2011 as a blog and then as an eBook.
