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.

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.

About The Collection

An old-timer once told me, “Shoot what you know,” so that’s what I did. I took pictures of the streets that I grew to know so well. I took bits and pieces of ideas from photographers who came before me and created what I like to think of as my own unique interpretation of life. We are all human beings, and we all share a commonality. A photograph should evoke feeling and emotion, it should bare its soul.

Alvaro Vegazo
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

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.

Vicky Hsieh
I’m Vicky from Taiwan. It’s been two years since I bumped into the street photography, a world I felt truly fascinating. I was before a high school teacher but considered finding a lifelong interest an important mission. I dare to say, “It’s street photography.”
Over these years, I have learned to wait and discover the sparkles in every city. I could be a participant but also a bystander, vanishing in the crowd just for that transient moment. Beside authentically showing the links between people, objects, and the environment, the most intriguing aspect is that every photographer presents the same scene differently due to diverse angles. I love this kind of diversity, vitality and imagination, essences only street can provide.

About The Collection

In the collection selected, I mixed lights, shadows, colors, and geometrical shapes. Construct and Deconstruct. If photos are canvas, then street and people are pigments. Most pictures were taken in Taipei, a playground where I should always prepare for the surprises with my shutter. Enjoy!

Hersley-Ven Casero is a multidisciplinary visual artist, street & documentary photographer born and based in Dumaguete City, Philippines. Growing up in a small rural village in the Visayas region, his passion for photography began during his time in college, where his artistic eye was noticed by LA Times photographer Luis Sinco, and he was sponsored equipment and mentored by him. Upon graduating, Hersley did a stint as an Art & Photography course teacher at Foundation University, and also conducted – along with his mentor, and Magnum photographer Eli Reed – a series of South Pacific Photography Workshops. Now, as a full-time artist, when he’s not in his studio, he is out on the streets with his camera in hand. Over the years, Hersley has developed a reputation in his home city as a prolific and passionate street and documentary photographer, quick to the scene of historical events, and from time-to-time his photographs are featured in local newspapers, as well as national and international publications. His long-term passion project is his ‘Catch a Moment’ street photography series, in which he catches split-second snapshots of elements aligning in humorous and uncanny ways in everyday life.

About The Collection

As I mature as a photographer, and as a person, I find myself becoming increasingly aware of the transience of human beings, particularly in the context of wherever they may be, or whatever they may be doing, at any given time. I am fascinated by the fact that every time I click the shutter in front of a stranger moving and interacting within their environment, I have captured a little piece of the absolute randomness of life, a snapshot of an otherwise unremarkable moment in history, that is timely, comical, tricky to the eye or just plain beautiful. It really is an incredible feeling when suddenly, out from the mundane, the Universe delivers a fleeting and uncanny moment of magic and *click*, it’s not lost forever, but a recorded and tangible piece of art.

Vasco Trancoso
Born in Lisbon, Portugal. I became a gastroenterologist and from 1983 lived in the city of Caldas da Rainha in the center of Portugal. However after retirement I resumed my sleeping passion for photography. During 2015/2016, my photographic “voice” has changed and my work has been “in colors” and I started by photographing my hometown (about 30 thousand inhabitants). As a result, a photo book with the name “99” was born (launch at January 2020), with 99 photographs. https://youtu.be/wVzhkovtzuQ The book includes an Essay by David Gibson and an Afterword by Paulo Abrantes.

About The Collection

I have been fascinated to discover the magic of light in the urban kaleidoscope mainly when fragments of colors emerge between deep shadows. A way of seeing through the primacy of aesthetic choices, geometries and the elaboration of contrasts. The plastic approach, the chromatic composition, the emotions and the graphic impact are decisive. These Photographs are featured in my photo book “99”. Info about the book and ordering at [email protected]. The book deserved some words from Matt Stuart: “What a nice surprise to receive, a beautifully produced photo book, laced with (99) wonderful colorful photographs. A mixture of Cristobal Hara, Alex Webb and Costa Manos all rolled into one! Great work”.

Sergio Kaufmann
I’m a Portuguese photographer living in Lisbon and began my photography journey 4 years ago the moment I started to bike to work. The bicycle gave me the freedom and time to explore and see things in a different way. Since then I’ve never stopped photographing and trying different things. I’m always looking for light and shadows interacting with people and the way it changes the environment during the day.
