Street photography is really where my photography journey started.
Before I understood what it meant, capturing moments along the street was something I really enjoyed documenting. People and real-life inspired me, and being able to capture a short story with one click was what really got me intrigued with photography. Lately, I feel I’ve moved away from that into producing more planned shoots like flatlays and editorials–which I also dearly love.
However, every time I see an old street portrait I took years ago I can’t help but feel like I’ve abandoned my first real love.
Today, while getting ready to work on a blogpost, I stumbled on these images from Paris last fall, along with many others like it, and I was wondering why I never posted them. There are thousands, so, understandably, I never posted them because I never got to it. But I’m hoping to share more of those images in a new series I am calling Along the streets.
I am curious to know which city you’d like to see next? As well as which you prefer: planned shoots or street portraits?
