Kolkata feels Kafkaesque; daily life slips easily into the surreal. These images I took in 2001 Howrah Station examine the tension between the station’s rigid systems and the people living on its platforms. An observation of a community that remains unseen, where a transit hub becomes a home.
A close-up documentary photograph of a family among their belongings on a concrete train platform. Subtle fill flash highlights the textures of their clothing and the weary but resilient expressions on their faces. In the background, the soft blur of a departing train suggests constant motion.

Just three people, a quick chat, and something on a screen. 📱✨ Love the simplicity of street moments like this.

A candid black and white street photograph taken inside a tram in Sofia. Two young children are leaning in closely toward their grandmother, who is holding a smartphone. They are all focused on the screen, sharing a quiet, intimate moment of connection amidst the vintage interior of the tram. #StreetPhotography #Sofia #Bulgaria #BlackAndWhite #HumanConnection #TramLife #FamilyMoments #StreetShot

One of my photographic compasses is the work of Peter Martens (www.petermartens.nl). In homage to his legacy and powerful visual storytelling, I’m sharing this photo.

"A raw, high-contrast black and white street photograph captured in Sofia, Bulgaria. The focus is a close-up of a beggar’s leg, showing a severe open wound or ulcer. The gritty texture of the skin and the surrounding pavement emphasizes a sense of urban poverty and human suffering, echoing the documentary style of Peter Martens." #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhite #DocumentaryPhotography #SocialRealism #Sofia #Bulgaria #HumanCondition #GrittyRealism #PeterMartens

A single shadow can tell an entire story. In black and white photography, the absence of light speaks just as loudly as the presence of it. It’s all about the drama, the contrast, and the mystery in between. 🌑✨

A high-contrast black and white photograph taken inside a staircase of an Airbnb in Sofia, Bulgaria. The image captures a dramatic play of light and shadow, where the silhouette of a floor number is sharply projected onto the wall and concrete steps, creating a minimalist and cinematic atmosphere. #Sofia #Bulgaria #BlackAndWhite #ShadowPlay #ArchitecturePhotography #Minimalism #TravelGram #LightAndShadow #StaircaseJournal #Monochrome

Street photography is often about the art of framing. 🖼️ Windows don’t just capture light; they create natural frames within the city, turning everyday moments into living portraits.
#StreetPhotography #Framing #Composition #BlueskyPhoto
An artistic street photograph in Sofia, captured through the glass pane of a bus shelter. The window frame creates a natural framing effect around an old vintage bus passing by, highlighting the contrast between the city's weathered history and modern urban elements. #StreetPhotography #Sofia #Bulgaria #Framing #Composition #VintageBus #UrbanPhotography #StreetScene #SofiaStreets #BusStop #StreetStorytelling

I’ve noticed that parents and children don’t just share looks—they mirror each other. Their posture, expressions, and even the way their hands move are often identical, sometimes forming a perfect mirror image.

"A candid street photography shot on public transport in Sofia, showing a mother and her adult daughter sitting together. They exhibit near-identical body language, with the same posture, facial expression, and hand placement, creating a striking mirror image of one another."

Some photos don't provide answers; they only breathe questions. Found on a sidewalk in Arles. A sudden departure? A silent miracle? The street keeps its secrets.

Trusting the process over the initial gaze.
Pretty happy with the outcome!

"A dramatic black and white photograph focusing on the long, distorted shadow of a scarecrow cast upon the ground. The high contrast emphasizes the silhouette's shape, creating an eerie yet artistic atmosphere."

As a photographer with a heart for dogs, I simply can't resist capturing them. Captured during a trip to Arles last autumn; I continue to be inspired by the interplay of light and deep shadows in the streets of Southern France.

"An atmospheric, artistic photo of a dog in the streets of Arles during autumn. The image features high contrast, with the dog partially visible within a composition of deep, graphic shadows and warm sunlight hitting the French pavement."
