Tag: street photographer

The street photographer can be seen as an extension of the flâneur, an observer of the street .a person who 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.the street photographer is similar to social documentary photographers or photojournalists who also work in public places, but with the aim of capturing newsworthy events; any of these photographers’ images may capture people and property visible within or from public places.

    Ole Arnt Thomsen

    All my life I have been photographing, but about four years ago something happened – I “discovered” street photography. It was really a revelation for me in my photographic work to include a person’s interaction with his/her surroundings. And people in an urban environment can really provide lots of opportunities to catch interesting interactions.Besides my passion for photography, I work professionally with industrial and graphic design.I graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1987, and I have lived in Copenhagen, Denmark, most of my life.

    About The Collection

    Mankind is a flock animal and we feel safe when we gather in large groups.But occasionally we stand alone. We unconsciously conquer the space we place ourselves in.We interact with it and own it for a moment.Our presence brings an unknown story, which activates the imagination of a witness to the scene, and a new visual context emerges.A photograph can sometimes bring an unknown story alive.
    It can accentuate and maybe clarify.

    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.

    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.

    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.
