Originally from Newcastle-on-Tyne I am currently a London based Photographer specialising in black and white Street Photography.
Throughout life I have always been a great people watcher and it is this that drew me to Street Photography initially. I love the challenge of trying to capture a few sparkling moments from the chaotic world that passes by us each and every day in a candid photograph.
We all see the world through our own eyes and as a Street Photographer the choices of what to photograph and how to present your images are almost endless, there are so many stories to tell...
Tatsuo Suzuki was born 1965 in Tokyo, Japan. He started shooting 3 years ago. His works are published on several online or paper magazine and books.
You carried your camera with you as a taxi driver in New York City. The city was your office, so to speak, and you were able to take pictures on the job. When you began taking pictures, did you know what you were looking for? Had you seen things from the cab and thought, “if I only had my camera”?
I think that anyone who lived in NYC back in the late ’70s remembers what certain parts of the city were like, particularly at night. The things I saw were brutal and sometimes real funny. “If I only had a camera” was something I started mumbling after each crazy thing I saw; people having sex in broad daylight on the hood of a car, knife fights that seemed like they were a scene from West Side Story, and lots of other violent or unbelievable things. The list could go on and on.
After practicing graphic design for almost two decades, Markus Hartel began his career in photography in 2003, coincidently when he moved to New York City.
What is street photography? A reflection of every day life – real, unaltered impressions of public places, places that everybody visits every day, the street where you live, the parking lot of your favorite grocery store, the subway. Street photographers document the truth – take candid pictures of things that you don’t notice in your daily grind.
Street photography involves attention to detail. The photographer pays attention to scenes, moments that you only recognize subconsciously. The camera is an unobtrusive extension of the eye in any given situation. Oftentimes, street photographers take pictures they feel; the photographer happens to be there and captures the mood in a fraction of a second. He freezes a moment that you will forget in the same amount of time…
I am originally from Spain but now live in New York City. As an aerial photographer, I recently started using drones to capture images as it provides a great range of freedom.
