Tell a story, be yourself and create

Street photography made me fall in love with cities and streetlife again. Every time I bring my camera with me, the city become a different place. More light, more life, more details and more grain.

I see streets mainly in black & white.

What is street photography?

It’s an artsy documentary of our times for future generations. It’s about capturing time in the right moment. I don’t mind if it’s grainy, out of focus and dark as long as it tells a story. A good street photograph should be able to tell a story.

Street photographers are basically quiet storytellers.

Streetphotography is also about breaking the rules of what streetphotography is.

Here are some of my stories in images:
