Everything Happens on the Street, You Just Have to Notice

Everything Happens on the Street — You Just Have to Notice

I was recently invited to speak at the discussion event series of KlikkArt Photo Club where we talked about street photography, as a way of seeing and approaching reality. The conversation became an opportunity to reflect on how I take on the art, why I work the way I do, and what keeps drawing me back to the streets.

The full article about our talk can be found HERE.

Street photography has grew on me slowly, almost unnoticed. I simply found myself paying more attention to the world around me to light, gestures, coincidences, and quiet moments that most people walk past without seeing.

I don’t stage scenes or direct people. What interests me is reality as it unfolds. If something is there in the moment, a sign, a shadow, a plastic bag, a passerby, it stays. I don’t remove elements from my images, because for me street photography is about honesty. The image should remain a document of a real moment, not a cleaned-up version of it.

I also don’t think much about technique while shooting. Cameras and settings matter, of course, but instinct matters more. Street photography is about being present and responsive sensing when something is about to happen and being ready for it. Most of the time nothing does, and that’s fine. If I come home with three or four strong images after a long day on the street, I consider that a success.

My work is built on time spent outside, walking, waiting, observing. Cities reveal themselves slowly. The more time you give them, the more they give back. I photograph streets because they are endlessly unpredictable. Everything happens there, you just have to notice.

Thank you for the opportunity!
