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.

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.

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

Imatge desenfocada d'un nen que subjecta un paraigua alhora que, davant seu, creua un noi amb bicicleta.

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."

Black and white intentional camera movement photograph taken at Pike Place Market in Seattle. Blurred figures move through a busy market aisle, with streaks of light and layered motion creating a sense of crowd, movement, and energy.

Street photography is all about the art of observation. There’s something so rewarding about learning to read the rhythm of the city and anticipating. #StreetPhotography #VisualStorytelling#Blackandwhite#Tiranna#TheBalkans#Albania
B&W street photography in Tirana, Albania. A young boy on a scooter is captured in a tense moment at the water's edge, appearing as if he might fall in—or perhaps he is just skillfully balancing. A candid shot capturing anticipation and urban life in the Balkans.
