Street photography is a combination of skill and luck. Right place, right time and then you need to know when to press the shutter. Here's a few shots I consider more of a coincidence than anything else. Of course you have to know your camera and how to get all the settings right, but in the end you might sometimes even have the idea of what to shoot, but then it just doesn't happen because the final piece isn't there. Any wayz, good luck with your shooting.
It was one of those years, but now there's a new one. As my love for photography hasn't dissapeared anywhere, there's been just too little time left for it, or I've been too tired to shoot. As my 20th year dabbling in the art of photography starts, I really do hope that I will find more opportunities to press the shutter button, or to be more precise, more opportunities to create something.
Years ago, when I started, I just took photograhs, but as the time has passed I've come to realize that in the end, just as every artform, photography is a process. It starts with an idea, the beginning of the creation, then that idea evolves. You search for the people to collaborate with, you look for the perfect spot where to shoot, and you then you execute. Hopefully all this results in an image you are proud of. Sometimes the proces is long, sometimes it's very spontaneus, but whatever the case, in the end it should be a labour of love. Even if I'm still going to shoot lot's of totally unplanned images, trial and error, I hope there will be more chances to do some planned shoots this year. Below are some pictures from 2024. I started a project called "Paperbag Portraits", and I really do I have the chance to continue it this year. Hopefully I'll meet some interesting people and have a lot of good time.
