I was born in 1971 and live in Hannover, a city with 500.000 citizens in Germany.
My first contact with street photography was on my travels in the 90´s when I even don’t know anything about this genre. Since 2016 I have been concentrating exclusively on street photography. I am already slightly addicted to it.
Since I am blind on the left side since birth and have only 25% vision on the other eye, I am rather a slow photographer. Candid photography is not my preferred discipline. Composing a stage and waiting for the decisive moment is my favorite way to work. I can be very patient. Sometimes I´m kneeling on the floor for 15 minutes when I think it´s worth it.My styles and triggers change from time to time. Sometimes it is the work with reflections and blur, sometimes it is juxtapositions or curiosity gaps that inspire me. But always a clear and graphic composition is important to me. I don’t like chaos in my pictures. I would like to leave out all unimportant picture elements as far as possible. The selection should give you an overview.
I am less interested in showing certain characters on the streets. I would rather document the light, the colours and the forms of the urban landscape in relation to the human being.
For me a good photo is not only composed in a balanced way, but also tells a story or conveys an emotion.
At the moment I´m doing minimal photography on street to stay safe during the pandemic.

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.

Project title : ‘UKRAINE’
The photo series “Ukraine” by Tural Rahmanli creates not only a connection between reportage and art, but also different people and timelines. The author represents the journey in a foreign country and its darkness as a poetry-like language. He addresses to Ukraine’s social crisis and society affected by this. Ukraine is another look to the present day’s society tested by many occasions through the windows of the past. He substitutes coldness of photos with people portraits from the close up plans inviting the viewer to comprehend social problems. -

There are few cities that inspire the modern world as much as New York City does. It’s ever-growing, ever-rising – a kaleidoscope of American culture. With my photography, I explore the play that unfolds day by day against the backdrop of New York’s restless concrete jungle.
My aim is to expose both the glossy surface and darker underbelly of American culture while portraying a witty, affectionate satire of a diverse and fast-paced city.
I shoot mostly in color, with crisp, vivid colors. I put people at the very center of my photography. Secluded from the current of the masses, the focus suddenly lies on this individual. And with the image the story unfolds and enters a dialogue with the spectator.
I always have my camera on me, so I shoot on my daily commute, in my lunch breaks, really anywhere and anytime. Sometimes I walk for 20 blocks without taking one single shot. On some days I return home without any shot I deem worthy of keeping. And sometimes I stick around one spot and find dozens of scenes popping up around me.
I can’t really tell you what exactly I’m looking for. I know it, when it unfolds in front of me. It can be a certain gesture someone is making. It can be a moment of closeness and privacy in the chaos of the streets. In the end, it’s a slice from the life of a fellow New Yorker. A moment that stuck out for me as special and worth conserving.
Photography is the best way I can express my thoughts and feelings. There are so many stories out there in the streets worth telling. Being able to conserve an entire life story in one picture – it’s like magic. And of course, it’s highly addictive. I think what drives many of us to go out into the streets, again and again, is that insatiable hunger for more, the constant hunt for that much-hailed decisive moment. -
Valérie Six
Born in the North of France, I am a freelance photographer based in Bordeaux.
Although I bought my first camera only in 2012, the medium quickly became an indispensable element of my life.
At the beginning, not knowing clearly what I wanted to do with it, I followed some workshops with famous photographers of different specialties (war reporter, street, portraits …), exciting weeks which confirmed me in my wish to pursue this passion. In 2015, I completed these sessions with a short technical training at the Gobelins school in Paris, but it is mainly in practicing alone in the streets that I learned the most.
Winner or finalist of numerous awards, my images have been exhibited in France and abroad (Bordeaux, Arles, Marseille, London, Miami, Milan, Kuala Lumpur, Brussels and New York…) and published in numerous online or print magazines.
Winner of the “Women street photographers” contest for an artist residency in New York city in December 2019 (WSP is a platform, Instagram feed, website and traveling exhibitions curated by Gulnara Samoilova), a selection of my residency’s work was presented last year in a solo exhibition in NYC, alongside WSP’s annual exhibition in Dec. 2019-Jan. 2020.
Ever since I started the photo, I have not ceased, beyond the pure aesthetic aspects, to look for the attitudes, the backgrounds, the small details of our daily life which, associated with a particular light (often a chiaroscuro) allow me to project myself- and the viewers too, I hope – into a universe halfway between fiction and reality. Photos like small improvised theatrical scenes or sequences of dreams, results of a small wait or taken on the fly, but a reflection always in my eyes of a particular emotion (humor, romance, mystery, surprise…), or a reflection of my interrogations about the aspects often absurd, often chaotic and obscure of the lives we live.
There is at the same time in my images, the desire to better understand my environment and that of the person crossing my frame, as well as transcending it to bring a little extra magic or poetry.[thb_button_text link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.valeriesix.com|title:Val%C3%A9rie%20Six%20website|target:%20_blank|”][thb_button_text link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fvaleriesixlouis%2F|title:Val%C3%A9rie%20Six%20instagram|target:%20_blank|”] -
Alessandro Rocchi
I’m not sure which came first, being nosey or having an interest in “street photography”.
I was born in Pesaro in Italy in 1974. I start take photographs when I was a child and my parents bought me an automatic film camera. I’m a self-taught photographer but during years I had the opportunity to join the masterclass of important photographer like Alex Webb, Jonas Bendiksen and Maciej Dakowicz.I really don’t know what influence me and my photographs. I simply look at people and sometimes people give me a reason to take a picture.[thb_button_text link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Falessandrorocchi%2F|title:Alessandro%20Rocchi%20INSTAGRAM|target:%20_blank|”]About The Collection
The Summer Has Come
The beach is a great equalizer—no matter one’s way of life, everyone sheds their clothing (and social conventions) as soon as they step onto the sand. Here, varied moments of enjoyment from seasides around the world.
Summer is a season when people let go of both their clothing and their social conventions. The warm weather and long nights encourage everyone to express their connection with nature and their lightness of being.
The beach is also a sort of equalizer, as everyone is enjoying the same scenery and everyone is almost naked. Distinctions of class and experience disappear. I took these pictures over the last 10 years in locations around the world: the cover image was shot in 2007 in my hometown of Pesaro, Italy. Every time I go to the beach there, I relive the memories of my childhood, building sand castles and playing with my parents and friends. Summer always meant the end of school, of homework, of responsibility. -

Sonia Fitoussi
I am a French, London based photographer. Originally working as a lawyer, the seed of passion for street photography has been planted in 2004 when I moved from Paris to London. I have a deep passion for cities in general and more particularly for London, its bright colours and its people. Photographing is my daily dose of adrenaline and I can’t help myself to look at the world surrounding me as a possible shot. All my photos are candid, I like colour and texture, combined with witty and affecting human juxtapositions. I love British humour and my favourite word is serendipity which describes perfectly for me what is Street Photography.
My photos have been shown in several solo exhibitions in London, Paris, Deauville. I was also one of the finalist of the Women Street photographer’s festival in New York in December 2019.[thb_button_text link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fsonia.fitoussi.street.photo%2F|title:Sonia%20Fitoussi%20INSTAGRAM|target:%20_blank|”] -

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 .[thb_button_text link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Ffabiofagu%2F|title:Fabio%20Fagu%20Costa%20instagram|target:%20_blank|”]About The Collection

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.
