Review: Danny Santos

Danny Santos is a street photographer from Singapore who has been shooting incredible photos of strangers (as well as other projects) for just over 2 years. I managed to be lucky enough to stumble across his website and project; "Portraits of Strangers". This was particularly exciting as i had already embarked on a project looking at facial expression on a journey where i am looking at portraits of people, strangers. So instantly i had a connection to the photography. However i kept on looking through the site and gallery and found that Danny is clearly a distinct photographer with an amazing ability as well as talent for street photography and clearly, with interacting with the subject. I asked him through his facebook page if i could make this review on him and within an hour there was a reply; "Sure thing, man :) and thanks for the kind words!". I'm glad as i really want to get his photography out to even more people, though Danny St Photography is clearly doing very well with features on websites and magazines alike as well as new clients etc. In the future i hope i can come to similar achievements and have been very inspired by his work and can't wait to grab my camera and go out for a shoot! 
            
                      With his work he uses depth of field so well, creating an amazing amount of bokeh that works with the picture rather than completely seperating the subject from the back/foreground. This allows the photos to have context as well as a main focus. To compliment this, in the streets of Singapore, Danny is able to use strong lighting techniques through the buildings creating amazing shots which really make a picture stand out. Clearly, this has been achieved with intense practise (even if its been a short amount of time), an eye for composition and an overall talent for precise shooting.
                    
                      I'd like to congratulate Danny on his photography and his achievements over this time and wish him all the best! Thanks
