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.

    I’m Ehsanul Siddiq Aranya from Bangladesh. I was born in Khulna, Bangladesh. I grew up and completed my School and College Education from Jashore, Bangladesh. I’ve Completed my graduation in B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Daffodil International University from Dhaka. Currently I’m living in Dhaka for corporate job purpose. I am professionally a Software Engineer working at Orange Business Development Ltd. which is a Software Company of Bangladesh.
    Photography is my hobby and I am a Travel & Street Photographer driven by passion. Travel, Street, People’s lifestyle, daily life and all people related genres are my favorite genres. I started capturing photos in 2010 with my uncle’s Handi-cam, cousin’s Compact, and Point & shoot camera. And then in 2013 I realized the name of “capturing photo” is Photography, Then in 2014, I started with a DSLR camera. In 2014 five of my street photos were exhibited in Drik (A famous art gallery of Bangladesh) in three different Exhibitions. That was a turning point this hobby. Then I started to learning how to capture good photos and learning from each little part of the world. Still I am learning and as ‘collection’ is my second hobby so I combined both of my hobby and started collecting good photos in my portfolio. Clicking different photos of different activities of people, location, and culture with my third-eye and showing them to my favorite people is my hobby.
    To me, photography is the medium to show what the world looks like and how it’s changing every day by human. And I am trying to tell the world what I feel about the world via the universal language photography.

    Wieslaw Mamon

    My name is Wiesław Mamoń, born in 1966 and I’m a Polish engineer and teacher. My adventure with photography started relatively late in my life, when I was in my mid-thirties. At first I enjoyed  landscape and travel photography most, but it wasn’t until I attended some photo exhibitions where I came across works by such artists like Pedro Luis Raota, Stanko Abadzic and Manuel Alvarez Bravo that I got fascinated by how photography turns 3(or more)D reality into its 2D interpretation. As in this process the role of photographer is crucial, I found it intellectually challenging and entertaining to create my own visual stories. Apart from inspirations from masters of street and documentary photography my photos basically reflects my personal qualities, experience and family, cultural and religious background.

    About The Collection

    This collection is a mix of my shots from 2009-2019, taken both in crowded places of big cities where I often got to with the intention of shooting and in quieter surroundings during my family trips. In my photos I look for beauty, harmony and positive emotions rather than shocking or provoking content. Compositions that are aesthetically pleasing, sometimes surprising and/or funny, usually showing ordinary people in their everyday situations. I enjoy playing with long exposure and visual illusions.

    Pranto Nayan

    I’m Pranto Chakraborty Nayan from Bangladesh. Basically I’m a street and travel photographer. My photography journey started back in 2013 with just mobile phones. Then I continued for while with digital camera also. As I had no camera of my own I used to borrow  cameras from my seniors and brother just to take photos. I was so passionate about this and literally no matter what I kept on clicking photos. Initially I used to click every type of photos but gradually my philosophy changed.  In 2017 I got my own camera. A nikon 7100 with 18-55mm lense. Then after one year I shifted to Canon 6D and Sigma 1.4mm lense. Throughout this journey I went through many struggle but never leave my passion and just with my beliefs that I can I still stand strong and continuing my journey. For me photography is the reflected image of my mind. Whatever I see I try to frame them in a camera. I think photography is magic as it has changed my life drastically and for which I feel blessed.

    About The Collection

    I call myself a social life photographer rather than a street photographer. The next generation will read the history with the photos we take today. The mission of the photographer is the same as a historian. So the photographer is a visual historian. Life is flowing fast and it’s my responsibility to record social life for future generations.
    The photo is miracle, and the miracle of this miracle is black and white. I am not against color photography but my passion is black and white. B&W has no deficiency, but on the contrary, all colors are already in an excellent B&W.

    Onder Sertcelik

    My name is Önder Sertçelik. I live in Istanbul. I have been actively taking street photographs since 2016. I also received documentary photography training. I have 2 photo projects, one about the street and the other about the documentary.My photos were featured in several group exhibitions in Istanbul.
    I think Istanbul is a fascinating and interesting city with its streets and human condition. I especially love shooting frames with shadow-light, narrative situations and multiple scatter. I am very interested in cinema, literature, painting and theater. I can say that different art disciplines also inspire me to take more original and creative shots on the street. I usually take my best photos when I go out on my own; because my motivation is higher. Usually in Istanbul, I was heading straight at my photos in my portfolio some photos are photos I took of Turkey in the other cities.

    Pepe Hanze

    Born and raised in downtown Guayaquil, Ecuador, with Lebanese roots form both my mother and my father side of the family I am used to be around people all the time.Growing up I was not into sports, which made me spend a a lot of time , sometimes an entire days watching through my room window what happened outside on the streets. I t was the 1990’s when I found a rangefinder camera in on of my mothers drawers. Since then I have a camera attach to my hand. At that time it was safe to go out by myself to explore the streets alone. I think my photography is the result of my childhood memories, long walks and the person I became when I met my wife. Streets tell stories and being able to tell , document and develop them is my passion. At 18 I learned to develop film and print in a darkroom, I made an improvise darkroom in my bathroom. I like to document people and being welcome to their most personal spaces, as a lonely spectator, at their own silence like old street photography. I have a fascination for shadows, lines and shapes. With my photography I am able to materialize what I feel.

    I’m Dario, I’m Italian and I live in Campobasso a small town in central Italy. I am not a professional photographer but an enthusiast. I have been taking photos for 5-6 years but I have been fond of street photography for a long time before. When I’m on the street I try to photograph what I see, without contamination and changes, trying to capture moments and actions that we often can’t see.

    About The Collection

    STYLE
    I do not preclude anything from what I photograph. I try to capture everything that attracts my interest. However, if I had to find something that attracts me the most, I would say that I prefer ironic shots with particular light effects.

    About The Collection

    This selection contains images from Kolkata, Varanasi, Ganga sagar Island, and Las Vegas. As Kolkata is my home town, this city has a tremendous influence on me. Most of the images are from this city. Decisive moment excites me. It is the fraction of second which matters and I carry my camera with me most of the time so that I don’t miss a chance to capture the candid moment.  I love to play a rhythm with my images. A visual poetry has to have its soul and I love to bring that soul though my photographs. As I live in India street animals play key role in my photographs. Pigeons, dogs, horse, cow all have their distinct nature and I love to capture them to bring out different street essence.
