Candid Shotgun Photography

Drive-By Shooting by Scot Sothern Captures Personal Moments in LA

— October 4, 2012 — Fashion
The Drive-By Shooting photo series offers a rare glimpse into the lives of people living in Los Angeles. Despite being outdoors where anyone and everyone can see them, people often feel a sense of anonymity while walking around a big metropolis and so often engage in personal moments right there in the open. The Drive-By Shooting series captures these candid moments from the shotgun seat of a car.

Shot by photographer Scot Sothern, the Drive-By Shooting series not only enables him to document these intimate scenes, but also to take them in the first place. He reveals, "I’m getting old, I walk slowly and with the aid of a cane, but strapped in the shotgun seat of a little Toyota Scion, a trusted driver at the wheel, I can zoom and focus and pull the trigger from a dead start up to eighty miles an hour."
Trend Themes
1. Candid Urban Photography - Opportunities for candid photography in public spaces are increasing as individuals become more comfortable expressing themselves in the open.
2. Drive-by Photography - Drive-by photography, whether candid or staged, is becoming a popular method of capturing unique and fleeting moments.
3. Anonymity in Public Spaces - As more people flock to urban areas, the sense of anonymity in public spaces is increasing and creating more opportunities for candid photography.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - The photography industry can take advantage of the demand for candid and unique photography styles as people seek to tell their stories in more authentic ways.
2. Urban Planning - Urban planners can use candid photography to better understand how people interact and use public spaces, leading to more thoughtful and curated urban environments.
3. Tourism - Tourism industry professionals can use candid photography to showcase the unique and authentic experiences that can be found in urban areas.
