Street photography for me has been a form of determination and style. I started shooting street as a way to get over my fear of people and sharpen my eye for composition. It soon evolved into a way for me to see the world and develop my own style. After shooting street lightly for a month I became addicted to what the streets can offer me. I started to see the isolation of the world that I would feel in my everyday life, along with the celebration of humanity. The city is seen as a playground, quietly I walk, ready, waiting, chasing the stillness, the traces of human creativity and human connection. Hope and despair inspired by a fondness for everyday life, growth, isolation, fear, judgment and the pure joy and nature of human existence stopped in a frame. These photos serve as a visual stream of consciousness through the cities I walk.
