This subway series is great.
The three shots don't look alike.
The usual spread stuff.
Great, really!

Aaah fuck I love this page! great pics guys, even the "beware, child rapists chasing little girls" sign in slavo's batch.

sarram - Love all yr candids.

slavo - Those are all beautiful. What type of camera do you use? Do you develop them yrself?

oh slavo I like the train hallway one!

thanks.
all the pictures except the one with the doubled statue head were taken with LC-A. The one with the two heads was taken with Smena 8m.
I didn't develop them myself, I took them to the photo place.

Bertrand/ nicfit/Angella :thank you.

Slavo, your pictures get better and better.

these are the last three of this series i'm posting. promised.

nobody's complaining. post more of them, please. they're fascinating.

I wish my life was so un-boring that I would be sitting on a tube train taking photos of people I dont know. :)

being boring sucks :(

maybe I should start taking photos like that and I would boost my interest lvl.

I wish you would. seriously. then again, I enjoy taking pictures of the TV and fully intend to start taking stealth cam-phone pics of people at Walmart.

so please post random toob people that I will never see!

note: I'm also interested in pictures of people's local news-teams. yeah, really.

That first shot is amazing, porky.

what? local news teams? as in, the people who do the news on the tv? Or the journalists who write the local paper?


I'll scan you copies of MX or something, it is total photos of nobody trash.

yes, the people that do the news on tv. preferably a picture of them while they are on the tv.

nothing in the world feels so foreign as someone else's local news-team.

other people's work i lovvvvve

I bet you would if you had to sit on a train to get from point A to B. You know that's what trains are for, right?

thanks, that's my favourite too.

flotz: the reason i said that i am stopping posting from this series is because i don't want to overdo it. i literally have 100s of these shots, often 3 or 4 takes of the same person.

how do you pull off secret photography?!?

Shutter sound off, flash off, messing around with my phone's camera while I look like i am playing games on it.

The idea itself is not even mine, I nicked it off a friend and past collaborator (I made the soundtrack for an exhibition of his based on pictures of people he took on the tube) who used a real camera to take the shots, and some great shots they are indeed. It was more difficult for him because he had to look like a photography student messing around with his big camera on the train, which is all the more surprising given the results often seem staged.

holy shit you took those with a PHONE!??!

Fancy uk phones ;)!
sarram, do you "catalog" them in some way? I noticed sometimes there's your reflection, sometimes not, that made me think, not sure about what exactly, but those felt "different" somehow..

I noticed the phone in the reflection, but as with satan, couldn't believe that you get that quality of shot with a phonecam.

I just threw my iphone across the room. worthless piece of trash.

and no need to post duplicates of people, but I really do like looking at candid shots of the mundane. I love secret worlds.

^love those!!

I LOVE TERRY RICHARDSON.
Have you seen this?
http://www.richardsonmag.com/

Also, love the fly, nicfit.

^yes
terry is a badass.

If I was hot enough I would totally pose nude for him.

psh, youre hot enough.

i'm gonna do it.

Even if I was seriously considering it, I just asked my boyfriend and he said he doesn't approve. Time to make a poll!

I like this one, it's like looking at a film still.

Flotz/Satan- It's a very expensive phone, it costs nearly £ 500. The camera isn't just a normal phone camera, but a fully functional thing in itself.

Nic Fit - Yes, I archive them.

Porkys photos are brilliant, but I kind of liked the blurry and pixelated snapshots more. Maybe you should have a photo blog or something. Have you tried this with a proper camera or would it end up you being stabbed by an angered londonian youngster?

Just started getting into taking pictures, put a few first attempts on my blog:

think i'll do some more with 'light' as a theme, the photos here are inspiring...

Thank you. I did ask random people to pose on the street before, and what put me off from doing it again is that the majority were more than happy to accommodate my request.

I love love love how much they all look like security camera shots.

That's exactly what appeals to me. porky is a voyeuristic cunt. I love that.
