Sam Stockman

Sam Stockman is a British street photographer who is currently based in Nottingham but has shot images all over the world.

 This image of Stockman's is of a restaurant which I believe is located at the end of a pier in the UK. This image I'm not too sure about as there really isn't that much going on in the image and there really isn't that much to look at. I would say going to shoot this sort of photography isn't really something that I would want to do because it doesn't really seem that interesting. Without a doubt this is the worst of the three images as there seems plenty going on in the other two and they are actually quite interesting to look at.
This image shows a road in the United States this road shows a yield sign and also has plenty of cars on it, this sort of image to me is more interesting than the top one as much more going on but it isn't too over crowded. This isn't just something I would be interested in shooting but is something that I have done albeit in the UK. This isn't the best image of the three but is much better than the top image.
This image shows an abandoned theme park which I believe is in the UK though it could also be in the US because it does remind me of some theme parks that I have seen in the US and with Stockman having shot in the US before I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually in the US.

In my opinion this is the best of the three images mainly because the image has such a haunting feeling about it mainly because it is in an abandoned theme park this would raise so many questions, including why was the park abandoned? and this is why I love the image.

Overall I feel that Stockman has a very wide variety of images and he seems to capture the images straight on which I find quite interesting as a lot of photographers try to look for different angles on the image, maybe Stockman tried this but found shooting straight on was better either way the bottom two images in particular are brilliant with the last image being in my opinion the best of the three. I would even say that it is one of the best street images that I have ever seen.
