Street Photographers Foundation

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.

    Centrevilliens – Dontown citizens

    Hi there, last year was special for everyone, i focused on the citizens of my little town of Rodez in the south of France as we was living between the multiple levels of lockdown. I was participating for the Ricoh GR challenge with all the finalists of the Spi awards 2020 and i have to say that it was a special moment with a lot of luck and good energy. This kind of times when things happen with an idea in it, i feel i just have to capture them in the timing. I selected this ten photos because of the short period in witch i did them and it seems to me that they fit well with each others and making a good série of how i saw my city and the ones who was living it with me in this hard cover situation, maybe i needed to put more creativity into my work to balance. I only used the Ricoh GR3 for this série. Thanks a lot for your time !

     Scalpels of the Sun

    Scalpels of the Sun In Mexico the sun defines how we experience the street. Its twin scalpels of light and shadow often appear to sculpt the public space into a magical realist’s creation of mystery and high drama. As a matter of fact, however, my camera only recorded the typically random events of daily life.
    Amongst other things these photographs depict a child at a carnival , a commuter waiting for a bus, and a dog leaping over a city wall. But maybe it’s sometimes better to suspend our faith in the camera’s ability to render definitive narratives, and instead embrace its ability to generate ambiguous meanings and reverie. It’s in that spirit that I made these photographs, and now invite viewers to engage with them.

    The Wedding Street

    I am a street and wedding photographer based in the UK. Weddings for so long came with a traditional stigma and I’ve tried to put my own street photography spin into it. Weddings don’t have to be static and lifeless. Amazing things happen during these special days. Just like on the street serendipitous moments always occur and I see it as a game trying to capture them in a street
    photography fashion. The two genres are so similar in my eyes and there are no rules to how weddings have to be captured.

    Food Chain

    Every day the fisherman from the seaside towns of Prampram, Cape Coast, and Ada, Ghana, head out to sea where they fish up to 40 kilometers offshore. For generations families of these communities have fished the Atlantic Ocean. What they catch will determine the livelihood of the community and their families. Rising early to fight with the breakers, and after a pause for prayer, the 10-hour workday ensues. Back on land the selling, cleaning, and cooking of the fish is a lively affair. Working hand to mouth, the fish are sold and taken in baskets by families and prepared for frying in oil for the night’s dinner. Some days there are barely any fish from the day’s work. To make matters worse, due to overfishing by many big fleets from China there is a depleted supply of fish. Millions of dollars per year are reported to be taken from the Ghana economy by overfishing from foreign countries. Because of this the government of Ghana has implemented an annual one-month fishing ban on local fisherman. Many do not know how they will make a living for the length of this ban, and fish illegally risking fines in order to feed themselves. With supplies of fish dwindling and the broken food chain as a result, these communities have little to fall back on, and the future of the Ghanaian fishing occupation is in danger of being inundated.

    THE IBERIANS

    The Iberian Peninsula is a geographical concept formed by Spain and Portugal, two geographically united countries but separately by an invisible border. THE IBERIANS is an essay about my travels through this territory visually narrating the things that happen while wandering around Iberia, how to write in a sketchbook. The knowledge of a specific territory gives depth and meaning to my project, that is why my work is a continuous journey through Spain and Portugal .
    They are places where I explore the concepts of territory, border, light, memory and identity through the observation of the other. As Fernando Pessoa wrote: “… Portugal and Spain, it would be said that the two countries have finally realized that a border if it separates, also unites, and that if two neighboring nations are two because they are two, they can morally be almost one because they are neighbors.” In The Iberians I rediscover the common places, their people, their culture, their realities circumscribed to a geography, in short I explore the human condition.

    I am Emir Sevim.  I was born in 1991 in Istanbul and still live here.  I graduated from Cinema and TV department in 2015.  I started taking photos in 2011.  My first photographs were mostly about portraits, landscapes and architecture.  In the last 4-5 years, I discovered that street photography reflects me better and I started taking street photos.  I like to use light, shadow, humor, juxta subjects in my photos.  At the beginning of 2021, I became a member of the Turkuaz Street Collective.  I continue my studies individually and collectively.

    Women

    The city and the passage of time. Torn, ripped, dirty posters. “Paper women” who were once the target of the false beauty of advertising, now show much deeper feelings in an arbitrary way thanks to small imperfections. There are no more luxuries, no “clichés”. Women discover themselves through empowerment, maturity, sadness. I am pleased to present this series called “WOMEN”, a study of stereotypes of women in advertising. My small vindication in the form of street photographs.

    Postcards from Fryslân

    The province of Friesland (Fryslân in local dialect) locates in the northern region of The Netherlands. I was not born or raised there, but my parents and
    grandparents were. My first name, Bouwe, is a very typical Frisian name that you cannot hear anywhere else in the Netherlands. With this project, i hope to learn more about the place and the people that live—and lived—here. And in doing so, to learn more about my roots and belonging. People from Fryslân are looked upon by the rest of The Netherland as stubborn people. Going back as far as the Spanish occupation, they have a history of resisting authority. “Postcards from Fryslân” is still an ongoing project—hopefully lifelong—
    that i plan on developing further. The research is getting more and more methodically by the day. When it started, it represented only a collection of places that seemed interesting. Currently, the hope is to cover most of the province, as you never know in advance where the best narratives are. But still, it is all candid, unposed and in the public realm.

     10 photographs that found me.

    This project is about ideas and narrative. It is because I feel that street photography can be more than colours, shapes, silhouettes etc. It can be rich in ideas and humour. But it is a collection that I didn’t look for, I feel that these photographs found me. I let life take me where it will and photographs seem to happen. Charles Wesley, an eighteenth century English poet and clergyman, wrote that he was ‘lost in wonder, love and praise’ and those words resonate with me. They suggest an openness, an acceptance of life and all its quirks and curiosities. If we too can be open and find wonder in the everyday then our lives – and maybe our photographs – will be as rich as they can be.
    If there is one way to stand out from today’s abundance of photographs, then it is to have your own voice, your own way of seeing. I strive for it every day.

    WELCOME TO HOLLYWOO

    Growing up in Los Angeles, he always knew it was one of the strangest
    places in the world. As an adult, he set out to prove it. Through a three year photo essay, Hann chose to document the quarter mile stretch known by the locals as “the boulevard of broken dreams”. To everyone else it is Hollywood Blvd. Shooting 2 – 3 times every weekend, during early mornings and the golden hour, Hann strove to playfully capture this small strip of land occupied by strange characters and garish structures. A street with no real equal in the rest of the world.

    Oblivious City

    I walk the streets of New York City and photograph strangers. Serendipity, evanescence, a deep respect for and affirmation of the world as encountered: these are the elements that are essential to my approach. The scope of my photos is narrow and mundane, like the lives they depict – like the lives of most of us. But I seek glimpses of transcendence in the mundane. I am interested in fleeting gestures and glances, moments of connection in the urban flow, the ephemeral dance of light and shadow and street life. More than anything, what moves me is capturing the infinitesimal outward signs of an inner emotional life, the interiority of people even in the midst of the most public of spaces. My photographs are relics of a momentary merging of photographer and environment, subject and object. The city brings us together, the city prizes us apart. Immersing myself in the flow of the life of the city I feel the boundaries of my self momentarily become fluid, permeable.

    I abandon myself to the flow. These photographs are as much portraits of individual people as they are portraits of moments of being. They are my feeble protest against the city’s forgetfulness.
