Photographing Opposition

in #politics14 days ago (edited)

I recently photographed the current Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan on 35mm film. I shared a few of the digital images here and despite that post ending up as a complete dud, I decided to share the photographs I took of the opposition that held a march through the city yesterday before arriving at a large stage to have a demonstration over their political agenda. While I hate politics in general, such events tend to be the most fun to photograph. Where there's a lot of emotion in the space, a density of people and plenty of narrative to capture. It's where my photojournalist interest starts to kick in. I weave in and out of the people with such motion, searching for composition and unique images to capture. Not always focusing on the leaders themselves, but the people behind.

I'm curious, what inspired you to focus on the people behind the leaders, rather than the leaders themselves, as it seems to bring a unique narrative to your photographs? 📷👏
