Leo Coning
Secret Conversations with Strangers
Leo Coning’s project focuses on the contemporary look on the diverse community in Cardiff, this documentary style of work focuses on isolating subjects that have an interesting style and personality, capturing a conversation from a distance. Photographing the street changes every time as you see new compositions and subjects, you can’t hide when doing street photography, you either get the shot or not, so finding the right subject and compositions are key. For this project walking the same route every time knowing where the compositions worked especially when the lighting conditions helped elevate the photograph to the next level, from doing this I found out that the best time to take photographs was in the morning, spending time waiting for that one interesting subject.
