Photographers are artists with the camera, using a blend of technical skills and an artistic eye to take pictures of people, places, landscapes, food, you name it. Photographers can work as fine artists, wedding and event photographers, or sell their photos to commercial clients.

    Ayman Nakib

    I am Ayman Nakib from Bangladesh. I have started my street photography journey in 2017 when I was a student of SUST, Sylhet, Bangladesh. I tried to explore the street of Sylhet through my lens and this gave me much joy happiness. I love to explore the candid moments that are happening around me and capture them, hoping to freeze some magical moment with the click of my shutter.
    After graduation, I moved back to my hometown Sherpur for a few months and I really enjoyed exploring my hometown in a new way through my viewfinder.
    I am currently living in Dhaka. I would love to continue my journey and explore the people, culture and daily life of the places I visit through my photography.

  • Avik Roy Chowdhury

    Avik Roy Chowdhury

    My name is Avik Roy Chowdhury and I’ve been doing photography for over a year now.
    Being an avid fan of art and literature, I focus on observing more before taking pictures.  To me, photogrphy is a way to express our thoughts, perceptions, the kind of things we believe in.  It’s a way to establish connection.
    I’m inclined towards street photography a bit more compared to other genres, I try to find synchronisation amidst chaos,  I don’t have a formal education when it comes to photography, I read about art, watch a lot of films and try to find inspiration from these.
    I have been working with Pacific Press Agency as a photojournalist from last year. My work has been published in IPA and XXZ magazine, currently, I am pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science

    About The Collection

    The photos I’ve shared do not follow a sequence rather than depicting up-close, personal emotions we all express. We often find ourselves amidst chaos but the presence of harmony in chaos is quite uncanny. These pictures are taken around Kolkata – The city of Joy.

    I was born in Springfield, Missouri, and raised in suburban Memphis, TN where I studied illustration and photography.I earned my degree in photography in Memphis and have been working as a studio photographer for almost 20 years. In 2018, I began documenting my everyday life here in New York City.  This became the project  A Fragile Utopia. I reside in Brooklyn with my wife and young son.

    About The Collection

    The work presented here is primarily from a series titled  A Fragile Utopia. I began this project as a way to get back on my feet, metaphorically speaking. After a couple of life-changing incidents occurred here on the street in New York. Though street photography is quite a departure from my studio background, it’s been enormously rewarding. Street photography and this project have really helped me piece my life back together. This series is both a diary and a meditation on joy.

  • Gloria Salgado Gispert

    Gloria Salgado Gispert

    At the age of seventeen I was given my first camera, it was the same camera my mother had used to document our childhood, she used to photograph our everyday and create family albums that I have looked at hundreds of times. Without really knowing or thinking about what I was doing, I took photographs of my high school and university years. I started doing the same my mother did, documenting my every day, mainly the people around me, my family, my friends, people I met on my way. Street photography came naturally, it had to be that way. The process of photography is so beautiful, it makes you see things in such a different way, that pictures present themselves to you wherever you are.

    About The Collection

    I am simply someone that documents my everyday with the help of the camera. It helps me understand everything that happens around me and my place in it, and I do it mostly for myself, because it makes me happy, because I see extraordinary things and moments thanks to the camera.
    I would say I take pictures with my heart, do some thinking during the editing process and wish I had more time to be a bit more serious about it and be able to prepare a complete series of work instead of 20 pictures from different unfinished projects.

    Devie Koerniawan

    I am Devie Koerniawan, from the city of Surabaya in Indonesia. I am a civil servant. Through street photos I find happiness, not only when I get a good moment, but since my feet have stepped, I have felt happy. I have been photographing since 2008, but I have only just discovered the pleasure of street photography in the past 2-3 years. Street photography for me is the middle point, when I can’t travel far like a landscape or travel photographer, but I just can’t stay at home to take pictures of food or toys.

    About The Collection

    Basically I like colors for my works. I like red, yellow and other bold colors. But my childhood side that so admireing the Batman character, sometimes scream out and push me to take some black and white frames. I also like plants, trees, fun, absudity, humor and mysterious for my works. As well as similarity dan juxtaposition that will never be boring.

    About The Collection

    You can’t really call these works a series, just enjoy the rhythm. A kind of dynamic that can only be found on the street, in certain situations, at certain moments that connect to stories from a number of elements that take context out of reality and tell the imaginary story.

  • Francesca Chiacchio

    Francesca Chiacchio

    My name is Francesca Chiacchio, I started shooting and developing photos while studying architecture in Naples, Italy. After graduating, I attended a photography class and participated to two group exhibitions. Soon after I moved to NYC where I lived for 8 years, working as an architect. While there I never abandoned my passion for photography, even though at the time I was more focused on Architectural and Urban Photography. Only in 2015 I approached Street Photography and I got really passionate about it. In the past two years I attended several street photography workshops (among which those with Vineet Vohra were the most fulfilling, which is why I consider him my mentor) and I participated in various Street Photography group exhibitions (“Street Sans Frontieres”Paris, “Double Trouble” in StreetFoto San Francisco, “Short Street Stories” in Trieste Photo Days, “Women Street Photographers” in Brussels Street Photography Festival). I am part of the “Women in Street” community  and I am a member of a new born international street photography collective called “Through The Lands“. My work has been published both online and  in print.

    About The Collection

    I am a very curious person, and I am always looking for something new, this is why I travel as much as I can. In the past two years I have been traveling mostly in Italy and Europe, but I also love going back to New York, my second home. I think it’s one of best places to shoot street photography, along with London and Istanbul. This collection is a selection of my latest best shots taken in those places. I love catching people’s interactions and I often try to fill the whole frame. Lately I have also been working quite a bit on reflections.

    Liu Tao

    My name is Liu Tao.I come from Hefei, China. I work in urban water supply service industry. I’ve been doning street photography here for 10 years.
    I’m very obsessed with shuttling around the streets with my camera from day to night.
    In the long process, I’m obsessed with every clue of life, like the scarecrow in the field,looking for clues in the reality of repetitive cycle change.
    I seldom communicate with photographed object, I want to watch with my own eyes and keep a familiar and far distance with them. I have a wide range of street photography types.It has practical significance and also a flash of inspiration.
    With the passage of time, street photography makes me feel the vitality of myself. Once I knew nothing about the world around me, It was like living in my own world forever. Street photography opened a window for me, and the photos of street photography are like a message sent by me and the world. Although there are many problems in life, but when I go to the streets, I forget everything. I’m eager to find more and feel more.

    I’m Álvaro Vegazo, from Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain and I’m a Civil Engineer. Photography is my passion, especially I like Street and Documentary Photography. I started to photograph when I was 15 years old, but nothing serious until 2013. Initially, I got interested in Documentary photography, and while I was taking photos in this process, I had the imperative necessity to take photos continually. It was when I discovered that the streets are the perfect choice for me. I love to capture life on streets.

    About The Collection

    The variety of topics in street photography is so wide that I like to be open to each one of them. Although my beginnings were taking shadows and backlights, little by little I was discovering juxtapositions, connections, play of primary and complementary colors and the combination of layers. All this added to aspects such as humor, surrealism, etc. and always trying to take care of the composition, for me a fundamental factor in street photography.

  • Venice Photo Lab

    Venice Photo Lab

    We are honored to announce the new partnership with Venice Photo Lab.
    One of their main objectives is to present photographic art to the public for free: a way to encourage young people to dream, to see new horizons through photography, which stimulates travel, knowledge, culture and socializing.
    They decided to exhibit in Venice and in this artistic laboratory to compare traditional and artisan art with a “new”, democratic and smartphone-friendly art, thus bringing together two different artistic processes, to create a mix of images and emotions, of experiences and knowledge.
    Venice Photo Lab thus becomes a space, physical and mental, where tradition and contemporaneity meet, linked by the same creative process even if with different results.In this space, the photos coexist with the traditional work of decorators and restorers, which continues even during the exhibition period; so the stories told by MANY photographers mix with those of the artisans within a wonderful frame made of brick walls, stone dust, stucco and colors that speak to us of traditions, experiences and manual skills.
