Street Photography — “The Reader”

There I was, standing quietly in the shadow, my camera ready. Across the street, people moved like they always do — eyes fixed on glowing screens, thumbs scrolling endlessly from one three-second clip to the next. But then she appeared.

No phone. No earbuds. Just… a book.
That strange, clunky object made of paper, filled with words and stories — a relic from another time.

As she walked past an abandoned, graffiti-covered house, lost in her own world of ink and imagination, the scene unfolded like a paradox of past and present.
The forgotten building, the fading posters, the sharp sunlight cutting through the dust — and in the middle of it all, someone who remembered how to be still.

Shot with the Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 100-400mm lens — proof that sometimes, the most remarkable street scenes are the quietest ones.

Photography, after all, is just another way of studying light and life.

Right now. Winter in London, captured from Millennium Bridge. A quiet moment by the Thames, as two gulls take in the city’s ever-changing skyline. Tower Bridge stands tall in the distance, while the modern towers of Canary Wharf loom beyond. A monochrome glimpse into London’s timeless contrasts.

A black-and-white photograph of eerie, textured sculptures at Hackescher Markt in Berlin. The foreground features a dark, humanoid figure with an outstretched hand partially covering its face, while another similar figure stands in the blurred background. Bright city lights contrast with the haunting presence of the statues, creating a dramatic and mysterious atmosphere.

Modest dwelling, shadows & urban textures entwined 🌆. 謙虚な家、影と都市のテクスチャが絡み合ってる🏚️.
