Q&A: Gus Powell on Street Photography as Poetry | PDN Online

“Pretzel” (2017) from Gus Powell’s ongoing series of personal street work called “Mise en Scène.” Powell tells students in his street photography classes “not to be sneaky, because you have people who are trying to shoot from the hip or be misleading, and if you get caught doing that—if you feel guilty, then you’re guilty. The most important thing for me is being open and present.”
