The Streets: In Progress
The Streets: In Progress
Street photography is one of those things that never really ends. It’s not a project with a deadline or a series you can call “finished.” It’s always in progress — because the streets never stop moving.
I’ve spent years wandering with a camera in hand. From the unpredictable energy of Brighton to the layered quietness of Oxford, where anything goes and no two days look the same. I’ve walked the gritty sun-soaked sidewalks of Los Angeles, explored hidden alleys in Croatia’s coastal towns, and wandered quiet backstreets in Poland, my home. Wherever I go, I’m drawn to the same idea — finding stories in the everyday.
The Appeal of the Unscripted
What makes street photography so fascinating is that it never disappoints. Some days, you spend hours waiting in one spot, watching people pass, planning for a certain moment that may never come. Other times, everything happens at once — the light, the subject, the mood — and you catch something real in a split second. That tension between waiting and reacting, between control and chaos, is addictive.
There are nights where I’ve stayed out late, chasing reflections in windows, blurred headlights, or the quiet glow of a streetlamp. I love night photography especially — it slows everything down and adds a cinematic edge to everyday life. It’s still the street, just in a different rhythm.
Stories on the Move
Sometimes, it’s not even about the perfect shot — it’s about the people. You meet someone interesting, start a conversation, and suddenly you’re taking a portrait that feels like more than just an image. It’s a moment, a shared experience.
Whether I’m in Poland, LA, Croatia, or walking through the streets of New York, I carry the same mindset — open, curious, patient. Street photography teaches you to look twice, to slow down, and to see not just what is happening, but how people move through their spaces.
Always in Progress
This project — The Streets — is one I’ve never tried to complete. It evolves with me. New cities, new seasons, new eyes. Every place brings something different, but the heart of it is always the same: being present, camera ready, waiting for the unexpected.
So yes, The Streets is in progress. And I hope it always will be.
