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.

"A black and white photograph of a pair of crutches lying abandoned on a cobblestone street in Arles. Harsh sunlight creates deep shadows on the textured stone pavement."

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."

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.

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.

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.
