SHOOTING PEOPLE

I’m on the street looking for a little something, something. Attitude, style, stories.

I find people fascinating. The way they dress. The way they move. The way they carry themselves. The things they carry. The things they do. Some are sidewalk celebrities. Others look like they’ve never owned a mirror in their life.

But I’m not out here to make judgements. I make photographs — freezing moments that will never occur the same way again. With images that become their own reality, their own entity. Living on forever.

 

Two ways to think:

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls.”

― Ted Grant, Legendary Canadian Photojournalist

Joel Meyerowitz tells the story of his early days as a photographer when he was told that serious photographers took black & white pictures. 'But why?' he asked, 'when the world is in color?’

They’re Out There. In B&W & Color.
