Meetings With Strangers'
Street photography is a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, public events and other settings.
Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment.
As a responsible photographer I try to make honest images which show as a record, the way we live now. All the photographs in this book were made over a five year period. I have no particular agenda in the choice of images, other than to try and tell a story with each one.
If you look carefully at the images you will be able to interpret and decide what the picture says to you. Your story may not be the same as mine and you will likely see things that I have not even noticed.
