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.

Lorenzo Grifantini
I’m an architect founder of a successful architectural company. Architecture and photography, they are somehow interlinked, they both are related to the idea of space, tridimensionality and people interacting with the environment. For me, learning photography was a natural and organic process. Compared to architecture in where the whole project’s genesis for conception to completion can take years, photography allowed me to vent my creativity in a shorter amount of time.
I have had several reportages published in Vice magazine, Causette Magazine. Norwegian Airlines Magazine L’oeil de la Photographie, Stern Magazine, Nat Geo Italia, Ddonna La Repubblica, Die Zeit, Lens Culture and Photovogue for Vogue Italia. I have done few advertainment campaign, among them, Vodafone picked one of my pictures from the “Italian summer” reportage for their summer advertisement campaign in Holland and Stella Artois beer.

About The Collection

BODY LANGUAGE
This project is a spin-off of the worldwide known Italian Summer project. While Italian Summer is an environmental description of how Italians enjoy holidays this is more focused on the naked bodies and how they “speak” in a hot and somehow extreme environment.I took these pictures in different places around Italy—like the island of Salina in Sicily, Salento in Puglia, and Forte dei Marmi in Tuscany. I looked at people of all ages and social stations hoping to find that one common thread of surreal irony.

IF THE STREETS COULD SPEAK
The sixties changed the relationship between the city and its inhabitants forever. From the ruins of Victorian austerity and the interminable years of war, arose a “swinging” time that revolutionised the inter-connection between people and their built environment. London “is” the people who live there. The eight million inhabitants constitute a melting pot of different social classes which for better or worse, cannot be found in other cities.
The city rejects no one, it welcomes all without barriers. Only in London may one take photos like these without anybody batting an eye lid, at worst they point to their eyes as though to say: “look deep into them”.

Enrico Markus Essl

Born in Linz (Upper Austria), grown up in Salzburg now back, living and working in Linz. Since my early childhood I have been interested in photography. I detected street photography for myself and it’s been haunting me until this day. The urban jungle of cities, the people living there, the crucial moments and the endless trips through the streets and places are stirring my desire to capture moments. I work with Leica Cameras.

About The Collection

I live in the outskirts of Moscow, but in spite of that I rarely photograph there. I feel alienated by the rhythms and hassle of the big city. I prefer the quiet life of Russian provinces and the people there. That’s why I grasp at every opportunity to go as far away from the capital as possible, and prefer the small towns and villages in the countryside. This is where I look for inspiration for my work. Russian province isn’t just a place I love, it is my connection to my childhood memories, to my past, to my grandmother’s house where I first looked through my camera.

Joaquin Luna
Determined to trap an internal moment, photographer and filmmaker Joaquin Luna captures confessional compositions where the essence of individuals and environments intermingle with the artist’s own psyche. These existential inquiries are investigated through melancholic visual arrangements imbued with ambiguity, where decontextualized settings and isolated personalities delineate notions of disconnection. A sense of complexity is further encouraged by opposing muted and saturated colors, intentional and coincidental configurations, and hiding what is expected to be revealed, altogether gapping information and playing with tensions between reality and fiction. Unsettling atmospheres and liminal spaces are introduced by means of dividing elements such as mirrors, windows, and doors that, along with textures of glass, smoke, and rain frame glimpses of character that reinforce the uneasiness of the images. Suggestive instances stimulate the spectator to complete the fragmented narratives by projecting themselves into the scene. Inversely mirroring the observer’s reaction, photographing becomes for Joaquín a refuge to encounter the self and activate sensations of solitude. Becoming both observer and observed, his work externalizes a faceless self-portrait.

Evyatar Dayan
Evyatar Dayan, 43 years old, work in a software company during the week and take street photos during the weekend.
Street photography is a passion I have in the past 10 years or so, before that I was exploring all types of photography until I understood the street is the place for me.
Looking for little stories in the ordinary street life is something very fulfilling and enjoyable, there’s nothing like building the story in your head, wait for the right moment and get the shot right.

About The Collection

These photos are about my favourite street photography zone, Venice. it’s a special place for me, where i can meet new people from around the world every time.
This selection, is a demonstration of how people can be absorbed by surrounding environments, they don’t even recognize what just happened to them, it’s a fun experiment , it was started as a way to gain self confidence and i’m still doing it in many different ways.
