CWW

Composition, With life, Without head

CWW is a form of street photography that has three main criteria:
Composition: The way in which the different elements are combined to form a complete and lasting visual image.
With life: Must include some sign of present, former or future life.
Without head: Refers to the simple fact that the image should not rely upon a human facial expression to convey an idea, a thought or a feeling.

Inspired by the Robert Frank image “Rooming house - Bunker Hill, Los Angeles” from the book “The Americans”

Mini Manifesto: Any photographic technique can be used during a CWW shoot, but no computerized post production manipulation is allowed, i.e. no PhotoShop altering. Only cropping, grading and "old darkroom refinement" of the original "negative" is allowed, computerized or otherwise. You take an image and publish weekly in any media of preference, – analog or digital. This could contain one single image or a series of up to three images working together. You are prepared to discuss the expression in your images, your message, feelings or communication intent.
