About:

Street photography can be a powerful platform for reaching the public, and motivations of the photographers can be as varied as the subjects themselves. Some photographers wish to raise awareness of social and political issues; others simply see public spaces as a continuously unending treasury for humor, while others may appreciate the challenges and risks that are associated with capturing street vignettes. My personal motivations for capturing street images is to adapt unusual and fleeting moments into a visual form that may be seen as relatable with the potential to be elevated to fine art.
