Takeda Adds NYC Street Images

"Red Bike" by Scott Takeda. Part of his "Street" collection.

Art photographer Scott Takeda recently added six Manhattan pieces to his online collection through Colorado art gallery Artwork Network. 

"I'm expanding artistically," said Takeda laughing. "I'm still a photojournalist, so I capture images with stories. However I'm now looking for a fresher way to capture images by creating limits."

Lately, Takeda has moved away from using a wide range of zoom lenses, and has started shooting exclusively with the 50 millimeter lense.

"My photojournalism instructor hated that lense, so I grew up hating it as well. It's neither a wide-angle or a telephoto lense, so it always seemed boring to me. However lately, I've started discovering when I limit how I shoot, I force myself to be more creative. And I'm loving what I'm now capturing.

"I'm now thinking of creating a new gallery of images just focused on street photography."

Located in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe, Artwork Network blends an expansive gallery space with a robust online presence. They focus on a personal touch with patrons whether in person or online. Plus, they provide technology driven art consulting services for designers and architects looking to add unique pieces to homes and businesses.
