Tag: street photography

Street photography, a genre of photography that 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.

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.

Dario Antoniani
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.

Nicolas Ettori
I was born in 1987 in Montpellier (south of France) where i grew up and now i live in Paris. Self-taught, my passion for photography comes from my love of skateboarding: wanting to capture tricks in motion and freeze them forever. Later my interests went beyond the sport to where I find myself today in the world of street photography. I like to capture the moments of life, to compose and frame the world with what the street offers at every moment.
I try to highlight the details, play between the light and shade, observe the reflections, and let the geometry dictate the angle of my shots, all of which come together to create my own style.
I’ve recently started analog photography because it needs to be triggered more carefully and i like having to wait the development of the film before seeing the result.

Moises Levy

I’m Moises Levy I live and work in Mexico as an Architect and photographer, all my life I’ve been surrounded by images I live through my eyes,
I think visually When I was studying architecture I remember I wanted a camera to photograph the city,
in that moment I knew photography was my passion, I always need to express myself visually.
I like to freeze special moments, sometimes is a movement or a gesture, something funny, or a hidden message …….something that
talk about life in a beautiful way, I spend a lot of time searching and waiting for special moments, usually it becomes from the less expected place and time.

About The Collection

Human condition is the main subject of my photography, I use several resources to express my ideas in photography like perspective and scale,
my images are too intimate, I believe being too close to my subject help me create powerful images.
My work is about people like a whole genre, I prefer to create anonymous subjects
and for that I like to work with backlight to create high contrast black and white images in a more graphic sense.
I also like to shot minimal and very clean images and for that I use very low angles in places with almost no distractions like beaches and open spaces,
I like to work light and usually I use one camera (Fuji or Leica) and one lens (28 or 35 mm).
I understand my work as timeless images of the human condition.

Michał Czarnecki
my name is Michał Czarnecki, I live and work in Warsaw, Poland where I take most of my photographs. My interest in photography arose in 2012 when I attended documentary photography course. This was eye opening experience that completely changed my view on photography. In the next years I continued to educate myself on my own but also attended some other workshops. I do my best to practice on the streets of my home town as often as possible. When I am not photographing I enjoy playing samba (batucada). I’m a founder of flaneurs photo collective.

About The Collection

Personally, I don’t really like the term “street photography” simply because it’s misleading and untrue. To me it’s about everyday, seemingly mundane, candid images of strangers in public places so not necessarily a street. When I’m out taking photographs, I try to be open hearted and embrace situations as they happen in front of me. I am a patient observer of reality, rather distant than intruding. Simple, humane events as well as those surreal ones are what I look for.
