Streetstudio™ Ramiriqui
Here's just a quick look at two of the folks from the shoot up in Ramiriqui on market day. This is a slightly bigger town than Jenesano and about a 30 minute walk up the hill.
I had some excellent help getting the campesinos to pose from my friends who came along for the shoot. I think I've mentioned it before but I'll say it again. Streetstudio™ is a treat for everyone involved. It puts you in a good mood whether you are just watching the folks pose or trying to get them to do so. Every person who walks by transforms into a potential subject and you can engage them in a way that wouldn't be possible without the excuse of photography. I've always told my friends that you can never leave a Streetstudio shoot in a bad mood.
This shot of the woman is currently my favorite of the past few days. The light is just right and the composition is spot on. My standard photoshop conversion to black and white action really favored her too. I love ruanas. They allow for a hint of texture and a nice solid color to keep the picture clean. It's a far cry from Old Navy t-shirts that's for sure.
I was going to post some shots from the institute but out of respect for those folks I am going to hold off. I got some strong images but I want to wait to see what comes of the fundraising project before posting them here. Sorry.
Take pictures.

Clay, you really strike me as a person who has a very positive friendly personality. I would imagine that YOU are the reason WHY everyone leaves a StreetStudio day in such a good mood. Heck I am a pretty pessimistic person and just READING about yours shoots puts me in a better mood... I guess that's why I keep coming back!
I saw your new photos posted on flickr and was wondering to myself how you got the people to pose like this. I went to your blog to see if you gave any insight, sure enough you did. Thanks for the information you put here, its very useful. I'm really interested in the way you photograph people, this looks like a lot of fun.
