Tag: street photo

is a type of photograph that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge. Street photographers do not necessarily have a social purpose in mind, but they prefer to isolate and capture moments which might otherwise go unnoticed.

Fabio Fagu Costa
Born in 1978 in São Paulo, Brazil.
Since 2010 I’ve been living in Paris and working as an art director.
My passion for photography came when I wasn’t happy with my previous job and I was attending Art History classes. I figured out that I couldn’t draw or paint. Even though at the time I had no artistic ambition, I chose photography as a medium to express myself. Since my birthday in 2005, I’ve photographed daily and that taught me a lot about the world and myself. Photography has changed my life and the way I see it.
I am also part of a Brazilian collective called Flanares, and a French collective Fragment .

Aslı Gonen
I live in Turkey. I have never received any training in photography, I am trying to improve myself by reading, following the works of my favorite photographers, and practicing on the streets. I love watching as much as taking pictures.
I love to capture street photographs and photos from everyday life. In the last few years, I have opted for low-light environments, rainy and foggy days, and especially black and white photos. But in recent years I have started to give importance to color photography and especially to shadows/silhouettes. To be in the streets, freedom and in fact life itself. I think it’s priceless that those tiny moments that you caught in daily chaos and hustle and the immortality of those moments.
I’am a member of Turkuaz Street Collective

About The Collection

It is difficult to explain how all these images connect to each other, but I do not like to stick to any particular style of photography… I just grab my camera, a pair of good sneakers, and I wander around the streets seeking for a way to look at banal things differently.

Bojan Chibsterr Nikolic
I was born Sarajevo in the former Yugoslavia. I moved to London when I was eight years old, just before all the madness started back home. I have been intrigued about most forms of art since I was a kid. Music was the first to make a profound impact on me when I was young. For some reason, the need of having a camera was a recent urge – I have been pretty ignorant about the world of photography until fairly recently.
I was in Colombia two years ago and felt an increasing need to interact with the world/reality around me. I had to buy a camera when I got back. I have been a big fan of cinema for a long time and was amazed by the emotional and visual impact of cinematography. I used to like to pause scenes from films that I felt were amazing photos.

Rudy Boyer

Rudy Boyer is a 35 year old father of three living in Nice (France).
He is in charge of a concrete analysis laboratory in the building sector, but since 2013, when he finds the time (he is also a musician!), Rudy photographs the streets of his city and region in a remarkable way and has been polishing his style over the years.
He uses light and urban geometry to compose complex images which are full of surprises.
He is self-taught and resolutely unprofessional in his approach to photography.

About The collection

This series is not one, it is rather a collection of images made through time, hours of patience and miles of walking.
These images bear witness to our time, while trying to keep a touch of humor.
I’m not trying to get a main idea from these images but only pleasure, pleasure in capturing them but also in showing them.

Gladys Yelland
My name is Gladys Yelland and I live in Edinburgh which is such a beautiful city. I am an amateur photographer who is generally self taught, but I have done some workshops with Ami Stratchen whose work I greatly admire and she gave me the confidence and encouragement to go out and shoot street.. I spend a lot of time doing street photography, as I love watching people and how they interact with their surroundings, and watching how the story unfolds. As I feel one capture can say a thousands words – timeless. I was currently doing a street photography course, however with the current situation I have had to delay it for now.

Eric Davidove
I am a California native street photographer who currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, and started taking photography seriously after finding myself unemployed in March 2015. My time spent as a street mime came in handy, giving me the ability to anticipate street moments and be there with my camera as they happen, and to take photos without being noticed or upsetting people. The most important thing is that I am having fun and learning something new. Let’s see where this new passion leads me.

About The Collection

These photos were all made in California over the past 3 years and they’re a fairly good representation of my street photography style and approach. I seem to have a bent towards quirky and humorous moments and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. My photographs often include some motion and are shot during the day time. Recently, I have been focused more on light, shadows, and layers with a desire to bring more of these aesthetic qualities into my work.

Dimpy Bhalotia
Dimpy Bhalotia is an award-winning street photographer of Indian origin. After completing her schooling from Bombay, she moved to London to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Fashion. Having worked in the fashion and interior’s industry for many years with renowned designers in London, she found her love in street photography, and she believes the black and white medium found its love in her.
She is a self-taught independent travelling photographer. She sees the world in monochrome and finds art in the extraordinary details of the seemingly ordinary life on streets. She believes the universe is a piece of art and so is every soul and street. It is this inspiration that makes photography her ‘fitoor’ (passionate obsession) and drives her to wake up before the sun’s rays touch the earth!
She strives to spread the message of hope, love, energy and freedom through her photographs

Iraklis Kougemitros
I was born in Athens, Greece. I have studied music technology and saxophone, and I am a self-taught photographer. Since 2009, photography has become an essential means to express myself.
Silent blocks, shadows, lines and abstract forms, have a language that speaks directly to me, more directly than any words can do. When I am out taking pictures, I find myself forgetting that I am photographing, but rather investigating the hidden aspects of life.
The environment becomes a theatrical scene, where every detail is important and can become a protagonist. I photograph elements from urban environments, trying to compose unexpected little stories. The images affect me emotionally, and I respond photographically. Through my photos I try to explain, redefine and express this dialog.
The unidentified human presence, sometimes being a silhouette and sometimes a shadow, is an element that I often use in my effort to tell a story. In many photos, the human is absent as matter; it only exists in a mental way, part of an urban environment full of forms, geometry and abundant light. This way, I attempt to show the environment’s psychological effect on human beings, but also the influence human beings impose on it. In my photos nothing is named and nothing is realistic.
The abstract, I believe, has more to say than the specific. I want the viewer, the recipient, to be able to freely perceive my images, to enter the environments they depict and compose his own image.

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.

Dominique Misrahi
My name is Dominique Misrahi, I was born and raised in Marseille, France until out of a midlife crisis I decided 20 years ago to move to NY where I still reside now.
My background is in dance and fitness. I taught for many years until I had my children.
I always loved photography since a very young age and it’s only been 3 years that I really started to take it more seriously.
I studied with Bruce Gilden, Jamel Shabbaz, Richard Renaldi and attended a few classes at ICP. I was part of all the exhibits around the word with the women street photographers curated by Gulnara Samoilova. She has been since a mentor and an amazing influence and support.

About The Collection

It all started with a Bruce Gilden assignment, he sent me out to take vertical portraits and I think I found my call. I am a people person and I have no problem to talk to strangers in the streets. I want to show beauty in diversity and real life. Each face tells a story, let s leave the imagination.
