“Street photography, a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge. Street photographers do not necessarily have a social purpose in mind, but they prefer to isolate and capture moments which might otherwise go unnoticed.” Encyclopaedia Brittanica

“For me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.”
