Street photography, to me, is simply about capturing life as it happens. Nothing posed, nothing staged, nothing arranged — just real moments unfolding in front of me. Although the name suggests it must happen on a street, it really includes any public space where people cross paths or where something interesting is going on: parks, trains, busy corners, quiet shortcuts, or anywhere everyday life leaves its mark.
What draws me in are the genuine, unplanned moments — the small interactions, the expressions people don’t realise they’re giving, and those split seconds that vanish as quickly as they appear. I don’t interfere or direct; I observe. When everything lines up — timing, light, mood — you get that one decisive moment that feels completely natural yet full of meaning.
My photography sits somewhere between documentary and personal expression. It’s a record of what I saw, but also how it felt to be there. The definition of street photography is often debated, but I’ve never been too concerned about labels. If a moment is honest, if it tells a story, if it made me stop and look — then it belongs.
In the end, street photography is my way of holding onto the thousands of small, easily overlooked pieces of everyday life. Not the big events, but the quiet, ordinary scenes that often say more than anything staged ever could. These are the moments that stay with me, and the ones I try to share through my images.
What you see below is a selection of just ten images, chosen from the thousands of street photographs I’ve taken over the years. Narrowing it down to ten is always challenging, and I’ve had to be brutally selective. These may not represent my absolute best work, but each image tells its own story and carries a personal memory from the moment it was captured — and that’s why they stand as my favourite ten.
