About Gazpacho Photography

We look for street shots involving many stories, characters, elements, details and/or emotions, blended together into a single picture.

Guidelines for submitting pictures:

- The more elements into the picture, the better it will fit our pool.
- The frame should have at least three elements that draw the attention of the viewer (preferably human beings)
- If there are only three they'd better be extremely interesting.
- What we really look for is social entropy: crowds, details, layers and stories.
- Raw and fresh ingredients means no posed or staged shots, and no tele lens.

Pictures that do not belong to this group:

- street shots where only one or two elements draw all the attention, without other relevant details or characters surrounding the main scene.
- street portraits
- non-street photography

Street performers, homeless people, concerts, manifestations, parades are generally not accepted in the group pool; same goes for excessive postproduction and cropping, while colors, irony, humorism, surrealism and shooting on film are all nice bonuses.

A few images that apparently are not so close to the above description could appear in the group pool for random decision/error of the admins.

A few examples of the shots that we want to see here:

Multiple stories:



The same story but a lot of different protagonists:



Multiple emotions:



Lots of surreal details:



A funny bunch of people:



At least three interesting characters:



The coreographic shot:



The patterns of Chaos:

The idea and the name for this group come from a comment made by ramontic
on the first picture posted in the pool :)

Thank you for participating and have a nice day.
