City
I made this body of work while wandering across the streets of Tel Aviv in the late summer nights. This is preferable time for a night bird like me. I try to reveal the magic which is over the city in the night -streets and moving objects look so different than during the day.
The artistic current of Futurism was born in Italy around 1910. It was a period of great ferment due above all to new technological discoveries such as airplanes, radios, cars.
People used to return from the business center to a residential area to spend the night and go back to work. Therefore, the area is called the sleeping community.
Recently I've spent a lot of time examining the ordinarily overlooked infrastructure of my home city, the stuff we take for granted as part of a functional urban environment.
My photographs explore the liminal space between clarity and ambiguity, a boundless transcendent essence that is both settled and unfathomable.
These images aim to capture the vibrant spirit of the Cuban people. While many of them face numerous hardships on a daily basis, including finding food to put on their tables, they are a kind, generous and resilient people.
Chongqing municipality, People’s Republic of China, population of 34 million. One of the world’s highest demographic and economic growth rates.The central urban area of 15 million souls is infused by almost 300 000 newcomers every year.
Reasonably big territory, densely occupied by living, sentient beings and crowded architecture that humans build their lives around, according to a social and economic structure, as well as their cultural activity.
As a photographer, my goal with this project was to capture the essence of the unique and ever-changing New Orleans cultural landscape and preserve it for others not fortunate enough to witness these colorful events first hand.
I like to take long walks in Chicago, the city in which I live. Even though I’ve walked the same streets many times there are always new things to see.
Peering into dark, empty spaces. On the outside, looking in. Camera pressed up to smeared, steamy glass. Glimpses of shiny Christmas decorations; cleaning products and hand sanitisers; abandoned drinks and occasional humour. Grasping at fragments.
A sunny day in February 2021 and a cloudy day (Easter Sunday 2021) during the Corona Lockdown in front of the Munich Allianz Arena, soccer stadium of FC Bayern Munich with 75,021 seats. It was the venue for the 2006 soccer World Cup.
The landscape of cities is often the very first image we have of a country. As soon as we land at the airport, with a taxi or a fast train we are taken to a city and we begin to have an impression on the culture, the people, on wealth or poverty and safety.
Photography is for me all the things that I do not want to forget in the moment I see them, in the space where I am found, I move, I listen and I observe.
Born in 1976 in Istanbul/Turkey, Cenk Bayirli is a passionate amateur spirited photographer specialized in black and white photography.
The environment is delimited, circumscribed of the subway, in the absence of the external landscape that often represents a container of memories.
Italy is one of the countries where the practice of architecture has been most affected by the economic crisis. The rich north regions were once home to many factories born from the economic boom of the Sixties.
I discovered Red Hook by chance, making a wrong turn getting off the Smith Street Train Station in Brooklyn. Over the course of the next two years, I returned to photograph this urban, gritty wonderland.
The Netherlands is the third most populous country in Europe (after Monaco and Vatican City). There is no escaping the literal and figurative footprint of mankind in the Dutch landscape.
There is probably no other shared experience that defines life in New York City like riding the subway. Over one-third of the city’s population commutes to work in the tubes every day
Diego Bardone, here, managed to tell us the sense of a historical moment characterized by an invisible enemy and the expected victory over it.
Fleeting moments in life captured in the most classic street-photography style over a decade ranging from 2008 to 2018. All around Europe. From Lisbon to Edinburgh, passing through Dublin, Vienna, Amsterdam, Madrid and the London Soho.
I wanted to challenge the perceptions of the Golden Gate Bridge. In solid red-orange and spanning 1.7 miles long, the Golden Gate Bridge is an icon of San Francisco.
I have been photographing the North Carolina State Fair since the early 70's. One of my oldest memories was the yearly outing of my family going to the State Fair in North Carolina, starting when I was 6 year old....
When I was a child, I had a very peculiar, nerdy interest in the political geography of the world. I loved maps and atlases.
For me, there was import (and fun!) in knowing the location of countries, their geographical features, and the names of their respective capitals.
Urbanism is the study of how inhabitants of urban areas interact with the built environment. This body of work focuses on the abstract nature of the human experience – the residuals of existence.
Raymond Carver wrote, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love”; Haruki Murakami wrote, “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running”; and in the few paragraphs below, I talk about what I talk about when I talk about photography.
My pleasure is to play with light while remaining in the shade. Perspective curves take on a particular relief. Use the ordinary geometry of the street to grind it and transform it into a "work of art".
Alexandra Buxbaum’s work has focused on documenting the human experience of various people and cultures living in disparate urban environments around the world.
The one and only, unique and pure – just Harlem, and nothing else. The title introduces Harlem as a magical place of longing that only works and lives within, and cannot carry its characteristics to the outside world.
By dusk, the streets of this endless seeming city are being roamed by 'suits'. Its a known, yet overlooked phenomenon. Hungry for bowls of ramen, raw tuna, cold sake out of cans and women, they're being delivered by red taxis to amusement miles in Shinjuku,
A lot of the people seemed somehow lost to me, either geographically, mentally or even physically. It’s that second before they recognise you, taking the picture, somehow giving you an intimate moment with a person you never gonna see again in your life.
Who says, streets are our most social lively spaces? Maybe. But they are also places of broken dreams, of empty selves, of collective solitude.
Does the world exist because we perceive it or is it that we perceive the world because it exists instead? What is the ‘a priori’ of all things, the origin, the starting point, if there were any?
One summer afternoon I walked through a park full of young people. It took me a few visits to observe and absorb the energy around me.
This portfolio explores the brutal nature of Hong Kong architecture from a street level point of view. Last year Hong Kong captured headlines all over the world with protests primarily against a now suspended extradition bill that would allow Hong Kong to extradite accused criminals to mainland China.
The Cadillacs from the ‘50s got longer, wider, badder (in the best sense of the word) every year. It’s no surprise that whenever Hollywood and the music business need an ultimate symbol of the Fifties, they wheel out the ‘59 Cadillac.
Architecturally, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania punches above its weight. For a mid-sized American city, it has a rich agglomeration of fascinating buildings, largely thanks to the city’s storied industrial past.
This series of photos was taken in May 2019 at Chengdu, the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province. Chengdu is known to be one of the happiest cities in China and has many famous sites to visit.
Lavapiés is a neighborhood in Madrid and it is not just any neighborhood. Its history tells us about a place of working-class tradition, which was previously a place of reception for immigrant labor from the rest of Spain,
The butterfly flaps its wings effortlessly for a time. It glides for a moment, catching its breath while enjoying a guiding breeze. Then another flurry of activity with no apparent destination.
They’re not necessarily homeless. They may be tourists waiting for their ridiculously expensive hotel rooms to be ready. They may be native New Yorkers who’ve pulled all-nighters at work or school.
Day in day out my eyes and my mind are on the look out. The street is my stage. The challenge is to put the props into order. In a few secs I figure out the script and the casting. Now and then it takes much more time but, never mind, I stop only when fully satisfied.
I grew up in a town near a big city. No matter its name, all locations around the capital are roughly equal. Before being large urban centers which are now were small towns to which, in the sixties, many people went from all over the country with the idea of working in the capital.
Streets without billboards, passers-by who are not looking at their smartphones: you are in Cuba. Time has a relative value, it is the reign of "ahorita" a more approximate ahora (now)
Deep in the winter, after the water has lost its summer heat, the river that flows through the center of Chicago freezes. Not the whole river, just the top layer which becomes decorated with broken ice.
When does one really know a place? Does it take one year? Or a few? Maybe a lifetime? Having lived in Hanoi for five years, I’m still trying to make sense of it
