About The Collection

I love to feel life as you do it in street photography. I enjoy to capture the beauty of everyday moments, to discover magic in ordinary days – every shot you take as a street photographer is ephemeral and unique. Some moments are telling you stories that unveil their deeper meaning only later. To me, street photography is a confession of love to life. It is a spiritual experience of a deeper connection with the world surrounding me. I go out into the world, open my heart and eyes and see what happens next.

Naoya Takahashi
I live in Saitama Prefecture, Japan and mainly photograph the city of Tokyo. I started photography seriously around 2015, initially taking cityscapes, and around 2018 I discovered street snaps. I was fascinated by the moments and encounters that transcend the imagination.
The purpose of my street snapping is to “share a perspective”. It’s also a suggestion that when you take the camera, you notice interesting moments in the city, and the city is very beautiful when you look through the viewfinder.
It’s not just the dramatic scenes that are interesting. Silhouettes, colors, graphical structures, juxtapositions, and humor are also eligible. I think it is the part of Street Snap’s role to present them. My hope is that sharing a perspective will enrich someone’s heart a little bit.

Cristina Embil
I am a woman from the region of Asturias, in the north of Spain. I have always loved photography but I am not a professional, I try to combine photography with my work in a Trade Unión. I have always liked photos that show the energy of the streets, which have layers and can be read as multiple stories. I am very honored to have participated in the 2019 Annual Street Photography Women Expo in New York City, curated by Gulnara Samoilova, Finalist at the Streetfoto San Francisco 2019 contest, Winner of the Brussels Prize at Brussels Street Photo Festival 2019, Finalist at Urban Photo Awards 2019 (Trieste, Italy), Semifinalist and Head On Photo Festival 2020 (Australia)

About The Collection

I took these photos in the Quartier “Les Marolles” (Brussels), the neighborhood of the real brusseleer conversation. It is inhabited by artisans, non-native workers and the elderly. Some of them offer a desolate image. Men and women like this are part of the neighborhood, they are not isolated. The day I took the same photos there was a very colorful and popular party, a parade of giants also organized by the Spanish colony. We can see people of many cultures, ages and races sharing the party. Elderly with their bags and their Marollien bearing. Children and also whole families in distress sell their “bibelots” hoping to get some money. The neighborhood is dirty not only as a result of the popular street festival of that day, but also of something deeper that emanates from its own essence. In this series, although there are people, these are not the protagonists, but the heart of the neighborhood, which has its own heartbeat.

About The Collection

The collection in front of you contains some topics that I work on.
Street photography in general. Animal photography in the urban space and surrealistic documentation of life in the Mea Shearim.
The basis for all my work and common to all these subjects I dealt with in photography is catching the surreal moment and the absurd of human life.
At the moment I have no preference for a particular photography technique and I shoot according to the situation. I usually shoot in high contrasts of light and shadow and sometimes I prefer to use flash and sometimes just shoot.

major exhibitions:
2016 finalist, singles at Miami street photography.
2016 finals, series at San Francisco street photography.
2016 first prize Local testimony Israel, religious series.
2017 second, Local testimony Israel, urban series.
2018 second, Local testimony Israel, urban series.
2018 Leica Gallery Prague, “Israeli street moments” with Alex Livac and Gabi Ben Avraham.

Edas Wong
My name is Edas Wong, living in Hong Kong. I am a day-dreamer and love imagination. Street photography is an excellent media to express my crotchets. There are many surreal scenes which happen around us. What I need are just “go outside”, “stop playing smartphone”, observe” and then “click”. It is rather simple.

Joseph Cela
I’m primarily a street photographer and fortunate that I have the streets of New York City for inspiration. I was raised in the South Bronx and am of Puerto Rican descent. My shots are not planned – I walk and explore the many parts of the city with my Leica Q hoping to discover what I like to call “frame-able moments”. I try to express the variety of what the street offers in my photography – art, people, oddities, the good, the bad. I find that this type of photography suits my passion as the subject matter is always diverse. I am not a photographer by trade. I only began taking photography seriously about five years ago. In many ways I feel as though I’m still learning to see and to me that’s most important. The ability to stand back and absorb a moment is something many of us rarely do. If you open yourself up to that – the observance of things – there is beauty there to capture.

Nico Froelich
I am a London-based, freelance photographer who specialises in candid street photography, portraiture and events.
Initially, I dreamt about becoming a screen actor. I would often go for long walks in Central London to observe human behaviour. I saw it as a way of building my craft as an actor. I would tell myself on numerous occasions that I should get a camera to capture some of the scenes that caught my eye and engaged my brain. I eventually purchased my very first camera and I haven’t looked back since.

About The Collection

Before picking up a camera and exploring the medium I had very little interest in the subtle, visual delights of the world. Such as colour and the way that light can bring colour to life. Photography rekindled my love for the small things. This series of photos is a homage to the medium of photography and the beauty of colour; as well as an exploration of the human condition. Largely romanticised, but always candid and real.

Jack Simon
I’ve worked as a psychiatrist for the last fifty years in the San Francisco Bay area. Fifteen years ago I became fascinated by the possibilities of photography and now rarely go anywhere without a camera. I enjoy the hunt for that moment of mystery, surprise, and humor in my everyday life. I seek unplanned and unposed images that hint to a larger story, like a publicity still from some forgotten movie. These fragments of fictional stories are drawn from the real world in an odd coupling of my unconscious, my intentions, and chance. I am one of the originating member of the Burn My Eye street photography collective.

Guido Klumpe
I was born in 1971 and live in Hannover, a city with 500.000 citizens in Germany.
My first contact with street photography was on my travels in the 90´s when I even don’t know anything about this genre. Since 2016 I have been concentrating exclusively on street photography. I am already slightly addicted to it.
Since I am blind on the left side since birth and have only 25% vision on the other eye, I am rather a slow photographer. Candid photography is not my preferred discipline. Composing a stage and waiting for the decisive moment is my favorite way to work. I can be very patient. Sometimes I´m kneeling on the floor for 15 minutes when I think it´s worth it.My styles and triggers change from time to time. Sometimes it is the work with reflections and blur, sometimes it is juxtapositions or curiosity gaps that inspire me. But always a clear and graphic composition is important to me. I don’t like chaos in my pictures. I would like to leave out all unimportant picture elements as far as possible. The selection should give you an overview.
I am less interested in showing certain characters on the streets. I would rather document the light, the colours and the forms of the urban landscape in relation to the human being.
For me a good photo is not only composed in a balanced way, but also tells a story or conveys an emotion.
At the moment I´m doing minimal photography on street to stay safe during the pandemic.

About The Collection

Project title : ‘UKRAINE’
The photo series “Ukraine” by Tural Rahmanli creates not only a connection between reportage and art, but also different people and timelines. The author represents the journey in a foreign country and its darkness as a poetry-like language. He addresses to Ukraine’s social crisis and society affected by this. Ukraine is another look to the present day’s society tested by many occasions through the windows of the past. He substitutes coldness of photos with people portraits from the close up plans inviting the viewer to comprehend social problems.
