YANICK DELAFOGE
Yanick Delafoge or as he is better know as Yanidel, is an international Street Photographer that has been shooting in the streets for quite some time. Originally from Orbe, Switzerland Yanidel now resides in central Argentina. When he first got interested in Street Photography he was in Paris, where he captured moments for four years. He has a very large portfolio from the capital of France with some beautiful images. After that 4 year period of shooting Paris ended, he decided to go around the world in 80 weeks with the primary goal of shooting Street Photography. His travels took him to Myanmar, India, Cuba, Turkey, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Venice, Thailand, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and finally Argentina. During his trips he managed to take many photographs and his overall portfolio grew in both quantity and quality.
Why is he influential?
Yanidel is influential because of his amazingly helpful blog and the book he released called “Little Crimes of Paris”. Yanidel is interested in spreading his knowledge and experience but not via workshops. He uses his blog for that. He is more focused on taking and sharing photos, writing blog posts and getting others to learn through that work.
In this picture you can see that there is only one person looking at the person with the inspirational quote, "DISCIPLINE + HARD WORK = SUCCESS." This inspires every living thing (I should act on it). Everyone else is looking at the girl with the skirt, this indicates the time, a time where boys could look at girls in a distinctive manner, the black men are intrigued on the figure of the lady. She must be an attractive lady or some famous person.
