Mindanao Street Sceneries
The Netherlands
Fri 4th May 2012
 
Street photography is not limited to buzzing metropolitan areas, the culture and life in the streets of any city or village in Mindanao can be perfect to capture the fascinating, local urban, rural and social landscape.

Because of the tropical climate Mindanao is one of the best places for street photography, so much happens with so many people out in the open. The intimate settings, the various traditions, the many strange faces and attitudes are every bit as photogenic as the region's magnificent natural vistas. The mixed lighting conditions and ever changing views can be challenging, a test of patience, yet creatively and personally rewarding. General Santos City and Koronadal City are just a few perfect backdrops for photographic forays, providing incredible street sceneries that will captivate the mind of every fervent shutterbug.
