I am not sure if this classifies as “people” shot or is it a cityscape with a human element. Never the less I thought it was worth sharing simply because of the top down perspective.
The photograph of the man pumping out the water was taken at the entry to Town Hall Station from the Town Hall building.
Tutorial on low level flying with a heavy camera and equipment bag coming soon 
This photograph of a Japanese drummer and a cyclist is all about perspective. Since this photograph contains very few elements there is no point of reference for scale. The flat wall and a bit of pedestrian walkway create only a “view box”. Now, I had a wide angle lens on the camera which tends to exaggerate the proportions. The difference in distance between the drummer and the cyclist is only about 2 meters but because of the low viewpoint the cyclist looks disproportionally tall. This technique is frequently used for landscape photography to emphasise clouds and thus create an impression of expanded space.
The concept of showing the view from someone else’s perspective has been in my head for a long time. However, realising it in street photography is very difficult. Today I was in luck. This young man was having a good look around. His sight seem to focus on office buildings in a distance. This allowed me to focus on his glasses and the view in them.
This photograph of very heavy, angled concrete columns is probably an easily recognisable place for many Sydney based people. If you work or have lunch at Australia Square you probably passed these many times.
The columns create an interesting perspective with their triangular void space, as if they lead to some focal point where people cross from the street to the inner open space of the eateries and offices. It is an impressive, older style architecture, which seems a bit boxy and heavy these days.
A bit of a unique perspective photograph. Being quite high I was able to capture and interestingly lit narrow alley. The buildings seem to dwarf the people walking between them.
