My journey into photography began with street photography—no question about it. It was the work of photographers such as Alex Webb, Harry Gruyaert, Joel Meyerowitz, and Robert Frank that first made me pick up a camera and step outside to simply observe and shoot.

Street photography, however, is far from easy. In theory, all you need is a camera, a good pair of shoes, and an openness to the world around you. In practice, it is often a process of long walks, patient observation, and repeated disappointment. The ratio between distance covered and successful image can feel almost comically low. You can spend hours wandering with nothing to show for it, or come home with frames that fall short of what you hoped to find.

And yet, that unpredictability is exactly what makes it compelling. A strong image can appear anywhere—outside your front door, in the middle of a crowded city, or during an ordinary moment with family or friends. There is no guaranteed outcome, only the possibility of one. In many ways, the process itself becomes the reward. The act of being present, alert, and open to chance is what drives it forward.

Street photographers are, in a sense, optimists. You go out not knowing what you’re looking for, but always believing that something—light, gesture, coincidence, or tension—might reveal itself. These moments are rare, but they are what keep you walking.

Over time, I’ve come to understand that this is not a project in the traditional sense, but something closer to a lifelong way of seeing. It is how I approach everyday life, regardless of context. Photography becomes a constant response to the world rather than a defined assignment or theme. There is a freedom in not needing to categorise everything, in allowing images to exist simply because they were seen and made in a moment of attention.

In that sense, it is the purest form of photography for me: an ongoing practice of observation, without obligation to justify itself through subject or narrative.

Over time, I’ve come to understand a simple truth: the more you walk, the more you see—and the more chances you give yourself to make a photograph.

This is a selection of images made in public spaces over the past few years. There is no fixed theme or subject, just fragments of life as it unfolds.
