Karolina Trapp is a Polish-Australian street photographer currently based in Seattle, USA. She has a PhD in English literature and in her professional life she has mostly focused on teaching as well as perpetrating occasional literary, academic, and journalistic pieces of writing. Her interest in street photography was born in 2015/2016 when she moved across the ocean and started exploring her new city. Since that time, her images have garnered recognition at prestigious photography competitions, such as Siena International Photo Awards or Italian Street Photo Festival, and been shown at exhibitions in the USA, Europe and Australia.
About The Collection
PASSED IN A FLASH
Street photography is all about a moment: in a split of a second a story unfolds before us and, unless we capture it, a second later it’s already gone – it passed. This series plays around the key concept of flash as a reference to both a photography technique and the fleeting nature of scene being captured. Time is explored in the tension between the dynamic character of slow sync flash, on the one hand, and the fact of “freezing” a moment in passing, on the other.
