    Giacomo Vesprini

    I was born and raised in a Small Town in central Italy 35 years ago. Despite my life looked quite standard at the very beginning, I understood that “standard” didn’t fit for me.

    Psychology helped me to express my inner personality without fear, so I stepped out of university with my degree and started to work as a photographer (funny, isn’t it?) because in the meantime it became my dream.

    I live in San Benedetto del Tronto, where I work as a Documentary & Wedding Photographer and Co-owner of Krup Studio.

    I am Chu Viet Ha, Street Photographers base hanoi, Vietnam.
    I am a photography enthusiast especially street photography. Photography is really a powerful tools, a bridge which helps me to communicate with the diversity of life and people around. A kind of photography religion that I have pursued and continued to pursue since the beginning of taking photos is “Decisive moments” . With hobbies and strengths of approaching the subjects, I always want to bring the viewers closer, even make them become a part of the moments in the street.

    About The Collection…

    A very interesting point in Hanoi is that a lot of people’s activities are carried out on the street. Some of my favorite activities and spots are outdoor gymnastics around Hoan Kiem Lake, and the scene of workers’ activities around Dong Xuan Market. I spent quite a bit of time observing, going back and forth to these spots to record with pictures. Early mornings I often choose a place around Sword Lake, this is the most interesting time to record the activities of Hanoians. In the evenings, Dong Xuan Market is a place you cannot ignore. The action of the workers, the lighting and the architectural scene here will provide a source of street photography inspiration for any street photographer

    I began my career by photographing punk bands including The Clash and The Ramones. My first job was  photographing the passing parade of colourful characters on Morecambe UK Promenade with squirrel monkey’s Joey and Queenie.
    My work involves observing the strangeness of everyday life, people and pop culture and reconstructing these scenes as large scale tableaus.
    In 2015 I won the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery London.
    I have published 5 books from my personal projects, Fogeys 2001, Thrice Removed 2009, Teenage pre-occupation 2013, Paid Content 2018 and Geoffrey Valentine 2020.

    About The Collection…

    I shoot on a large format camera (8×10 & 4×5 film) and this can bring a heightened sense of reality to the images. The details are clearer and become more important. Large Format is the way I have always worked. It involves thinking more about what you are about to shoot and then trusting your instinct. With no Polaroid or instant digital image to work with, the pre planning and thought leading up to the shoot is transmitted to the first shot.

    My name is Cesar de Melo and i’m from Lisbon. Since I was studying Cinema and Film, I watched the streets has a natural and raw photography studio. The moments, the rhythms, the people and the situations that just appears in front of you. Since then i always had a camera with me, I was shooting but without the knowledge necessary. After some years and studies i slowly start feel the flow that is shooting on the streets. I enjoy going out shooting and capture these moments in a unique way. This collection of photos are for me the best and special ones that i have taken in the first years of shooting on the streets.

    About The Collection…

    Kadıköy is how the large, crowded and cosmopolitan district of the Anatolian side of Istanbul is known. It is a laid-back residential neighbourhood on the city’s Asian shore, and its port is very lively and dynamic at every hour of the day. Because of this, it’s hard to find quiet spots behind the chaos of the district itself.

    «On the Waterfront» is a photography series born when the fog covers the port, and fewer people are to be found on the street. Then, the author tries to capture a more intimate side of Kadıköy. Not only human beings but every living creature – and sometimes statues – are part of the atmosphere. The consequent result is a story unveiling itself from every image in the series. Photography is one of the unique ways to connect the world and memorialise some unforgettable instants.
    «On the Waterfront» is still an ongoing series that the author plans on developing further to create a body of work that reflects and captures the life and spirit in Istanbul.

    I currently live in Washington, DC, and am still rather new to shooting street photography. I went to college and then started a short-lived career as a city planner in NYC, and if anyone had told me then that I would soon be in Iowa raising four kids, I would have told them they were looking in the wrong crystal ball. We moved every few years, hitting suburbs in Virginia, New York, and Austin. I hope I am now finally and permanently a city dweller again, and also that I will continue to be able to see the world, as I was happily doing in pre-Covid days.

    About The Collection…

    I fell in love with street photography when I was a child, long before I knew it had a name. My parents had exactly one photo book, and it included work by the likes of Elliott Erwitt, Helen Levitt, Robert Doisneau, Garry Winogrand, and more. Later, studying in Paris, I spent money I didn’t have on a book of Magnum photographers’ work. But it wasn’t for another 35 years that I took up the challenge of photographing in the streets myself!

     

    These photos reflect my version of holding up a mirror to the world I see and capturing moments that most people would never notice. To me they are far more interesting—and funnier—than anything we could make up. I am drawn to ordinary people doing ordinary things. To me, it’s all extra- ordinary—gesture, connection, humor, and our workaday lives. We humans are so much more the same than we are different, and hopefully my photos remind people of that.

    I am a street photographer based in India. I have a Mass Communication background in my education and since my university days I practice this style for a few years now and the reason behind my starting was I can always do it whenever I want and wherever I want. I don’t have any high requirement for devices, I always use a point-and-shoot camera or sometimes an old iPhone. Alongside I also do Graphic designing. I shoot in the early morning and then start working after coming back home. On weekends I spend my whole day outside, having good food and shooting.

    About The Collection…

    I believe there are so many things to photograph every day and everywhere. A little creativity and attention are needed to spot those moments and create them in our way. As a photographer, I have realized over time that, if we enjoy seeing there is no boring day, but it’s very important to see.

     

    These pictures are from different parts of India and mostly Kolkata. I roam around my city almost every day and also I travel a lot. In street photography, I have a storytelling approach. Whenever I enter a scene, there is always a curiosity in my mind or let’s say many questions. I freeze the moment when I get the answer.

    I was born in 1982 in Warsaw, where I live till today.

    I work in the banking sector. Four years ago, I realized that I have a big need to do something creative. I’ve always loved cinema, especially films which made a visual impression on me, so photography was a logical choice.

    In the beginning I was documenting my surroundings. I was taking pictures of places I’ve been visiting, pictures of my family and friends.

    I’ve discovered street photography very fast. Since that time, I’ve been fascinated in it and my camera is always with me. It is a very addictive and exciting activity which became a very important part of my life.

    I am a finalist of the ‘Moment street photo awards and finalist of the Italian street photo festival.

    About The Collection…

    The photographs in this collection, have been taken in my home town Warsaw and in other parts of Europe. Combining seemingly not matching elements makes it surprising, humorous, sometimes even surreal. In a familiar space I am trying to sense the potential of less obvious scenes and notice correlations, which are not visible to everyone at a first glance.

Have an awesome viewing.

    About The Collection…

    To outsiders, the region around the Bay of Bengal can best be described as overwhelming.  Exotic to even the most experienced traveler it is an assault on the senses: the noise, the smells, the vibrant colors, the seemingly never-ending crowds pushing against you.  For many it can become too much, but the chaos is also what makes it so special and unique.  Life in the streets can be felt and seen like nowhere else – so alive and vibrant.

     

    The title of my project “Of A Different Stripe” refers to the uniqueness and strangeness of this region, at least to outsiders.  The photos I’ve captured are not staged or posed, here there is no need.  In a land of countless Gods and languages, the streets are theater, the performances one of a kind.  I’ve done my best to capture this chaotic beauty.
