Tag: street photographers

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.

Daniele Zarri

I was born in a small Italian town, which helped me in the search for details, I have a relationship with free photography, I prefer to go along with my personal research rather than receiving instructions.I shoot alone on the street, I like the company but I feel more comfortable if I am alone.
Photography has always been a reason for me to document life, in recent years I have changed the approach to this type of documentation.
I feel lucky to have recognition in Italy and in the world, with which I have been able to relate to other realities and get to know enthusiasts of street photography.

About The Collection

Since 2014 I started using the camera as a tool to create a moment of personal escape.
I have many shots in the archive but I mostly publish juxaposition shots with which I am better known.
I like to create stories by combining elements that I find on the street, sometimes surreal other bizarre, I move with my mind always full of the details that I find on the street trying to keep them all under control and foreseeing what can happen.
This approach frees my mind from daily commitments and makes me feel completely immersed in this vision of mine.
I prefer not to pose the subjects and find satisfaction in being able to capture a moment that could hardly repeat itself in front of me.
When i take the time to take pictures, I love to stay suspended in this search of mine even for hours, with a camera in hand you are never alone.

About The Collection

When it comes to Dhaka, most of the time we get to hear how overpopulated the city is, or how bad the living conditions are there.
Before photographing streets, I used to think like that too.
But once I started exploring the streets in Dhaka, especially in the old town, I found that this city is full of hidden gems.
The 412 years old capital city of Bangladesh is filled with history, traditions, architecture from Mughal and British era, and people with authentic, unique lifestyles.
Especially the old town of Dhaka is full of life with the essence of true Bengali lifestyle. All the narrow lanes, alleyways are very photogenic, each street have its own vibe and character.
Though in a first glance it might seem very chaotic and crowded, but eventually I fell in love with that chaos.
There is a certain beauty in the middle of that bustling crowds, old buildings, and streets. It’s very raw, vibrant, and part of the daily life.
That’s what I wanted to capture in this series, to show how different and unique life can be in this part of the world.

Denis Cherim
In my almost 33 years of life, I have been fortunate enough to live in several cities of different countries like: Constanta, Istanbul, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Toledo, Bucharest, Sofia, London, Kaohsiung. As a self-taught photographer my passion for details has helped me discover a new dimension of visual understanding while acquiring a taste for the depth hidden in what seems to be meaningless.

About The Collection

I began to develop the Coincidence Project in late 2012. I came to realize that living in a society bombarded by information and images, the surroundings go unnoticed in front of our eyes and seem banal. Through the photograph of “coincidences” I have been able to rediscover the mystery of the reality, to show the underlying unity of the Whole through the juxtapositions of the elements that surround us daily.
My search focuses on those details that make something very known and usual to us get out of its ordinary existence, to become a story that consumes you. The art of the coincidences that I gather in my images consists in the creation of a new space, free of duality, where we can escape and recreate ourselves. The images do not show beautiful, flashy or glorious scenes, but special places where the opposites meet to unite their differences. Where there are two, there seems to be three, and where there seems to be three there is actually only One.

Nukul Leekanchana
My name is Nukul Leekanchana, a small business owner from Thailand. I’m 42 years old. I started shooting in 2017. Street photography is a hobby that I am passionate about. Before that my hobby was gaming, so go shooting on the street is kind of a game for me. It’s fun because you never know what you’re going to see, what you’re going to get while you go out. Street photography gives me spaces to use ideas to create and tell stories that are sometimes beyond reality. For me there’s a lot more to learn in photography, in order to communicate better, to know myself, and for me learning is another kind of fun too.

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
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.
