Street and documentary photography
Pinned
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.
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.

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

Some might say we shouldn’t photograph the unhoused but i think it’s important to document their existence and not make them invisible. If only for history. The real subject of this is really the guy with nice suit just passing by. #street #streetphotography #thestreetphotographyhub

Kolkata feels Kafkaesque

I spent a month at Howrah Station in 2001, returning to the same platform every day. Amidst the endless flow of travelers, I found a community living in the margins—not by choice, but by necessity.
