Some of the collection featured in an exhibition for the Australian Street Documentary Association, In 2019 also, this photo was published in a book produced by AASPI in 2020. “Unmasked”. The people of Chapel Street. When I am out photographing on the street. I go through some different processes; I try to ask myself what’s happening here? What’s the scene? Where are the moments? One of the things I like to so is, where I just walk with the view finder pressed up against my eye, photograph and look for, people, shape lines, colour and context or a narrative. I look closer, is there a story here is there something to record or tell? I ask myself and keep photographing. I often find myself looking for the emotions in people be it love, courage, sadness, a story a glimpse of someone’s life behind the wall. Even shape, colour or anything that provokes an emotional and feeling reaction. I do find that; I find myself wondering what people are thinking or how they are feeling. I ask myself what’s the vibe here? I either reach out to them and ask them to share about themselves casually chatting, usually by just having conversations or I snap away. Mr Boss man, the photograph above was unique to me. As I was walking down the street and I saw this old man in the middle of all this action and young groups of people, he was people watching. “Watching everything”. The science; Mr Boss Man. Reminded me of times that had gone by an era gone, mostly though it was just great to see him out enjoying every moment. As he has already seen so much in his life, we all have our own stories and moments that make up who we are for me he was, Mr Boss man. With deepest respect. I was concerned not to alarm him, so I aimed my camera at the street and at the last minute swung it back around and snap. We have Mr Boss man. I love being in the thick of the action and generally I am not trying to hide but more spending time trying to connect as I love people. Sometimes though you must spend time thinking of how that looks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac182c589c1726ac2ff0c75/1684894914363-AT1GMYAG0OOFBA8E4SZU/October+24%2C+2021_DSC9649LouiseChenPhotography.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac182c589c1726ac2ff0c75/1522653746147-FP4PN0XPPJUUMX2TGN8I/_DSC2269.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac182c589c1726ac2ff0c75/1522652416905-Z00OSL0EDR9YB62S8IY9/_DSC2285.jpg Work - Les Twentyman 2017. Working with Les is a time I would never forget. We produced a photo that he used for the cover of his book. I was very grateful to have met him and wondered if it was fate. Les’s book titled. “The Mouth that Roared” Les decided the location needed to be his old haunt Braybrook in Melbourne. Being raised in Footscray myself I was Familiar with the area. In the end we took the photograph Les used, out front of The Footscray Community Arts Centre building, as I love the old bluestone as the backdrop. The photo I chose for my website, is different from the one for Les’s book. I thought I’d show this photograph, as I love the artworks in the background as well as the way Les engages with the camera. As we went around Braybrook before we chose a location, Les told me about his life as a Youth Worker and what this work means to him. He shared many memories that he holds dear. He showed where best friend used to live whom is sadly no longer with us. Les is a salt of the earth sort of guy and an amazing human. Raised in Braybrook in Melbourne’s Western suburbs, Les has devoted his life to young people doing it tough both in Melbourne’s west and more recently in western Sydney, setting up crucial programs, services, and resources to assist youth at risk. Les has a dedicated and passionate team who work directly with the young people to bring about individual change; and building a huge public profile to support his work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac182c589c1726ac2ff0c75/1627196920179-22B72XFN3Q6POL9FNBSC/Lou+Chen-+MCC+Entries+-+DPI+Comp+July+.jpg Work https://www.louisechenphotography.com.au/aboutlouise daily 0.75 2019-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac182c589c1726ac2ff0c75/1522638080859-R5ZB35MZRZ1KN7PHWU1Z/image-asset.jpeg About Louise https://www.louisechenphotography.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2018-04-02
