Photographs in a Retail Centre - Joel Knight

In the previous post I talk about an incident and the perils of taking photographs in a privately owned retail centre. In this post I've looked at some of the retail architectural images of photographer Joel Knight.

I note in the following image he has a used a shutter speed to capture motion of shoppers to eliminate facial recognition. This is important for commercial photography as a model release would be required if images of people are to be sold for profit.

However I do wonder how the paparazzi get around this if they are selling images to papers and magazines I assume for financial gain. In this image Knight has succeeded in prevent facial recognition in this image.


A well know eating establishment

This is my favourite image from Knight's architectural set. The image contains an interesting view of the shopping arcade's stairway and including people. The longer shutter speed is creating a movement dynamic within the image

All his images look clean, almost clinical use of white with good use also of colour. No doubt some post processing work has been done but the images look crisp and interesting and show people in their use of the shopping arcade
