Black & White Street Photography - 2011 Best Of
Ongoing
This gallery is a selection of my favourite images taken since last April. Moment at which I bought my Leica M9. I've been shooting off and on professionally for the last 13 years... Rarely have I shot as many pictures as I do now. Street photography was like discovering the holy grail. It's my true passion... Unconstrained and candid. Life at is unfolds before my eyes. Sounds redundant, but it's true. I recently decided to come back to the freelance world in order to pursue street and reportage photography. Balance will be the name of the game, between a booming colorist and a re-emerging photography career. With the publication of a book in 2012 (with partner Twist) things are looking very promising.

I've come very fond of black & white recently... Obviously there's something very classic to it. Though it's void of color, the BW seems to put more emphasis on the subject and composition. I'm seems like I want come back to my roots. To those days spent in the dark room. The smell of chemicals... Simpler times. Straight forward photography with no bells and whistles. As far away from fashion as I can get....
