In capturing the essence of street life, I adhered to fundamental principles of street photography, which emphasizes keen observation, composition techniques, and adept use of lighting. Moreover, Patience and timing were also crucial for authentic, unposed interactions. 

Technical proficiency also ensured sharp, well-exposed images, harmonizing with the street’s environment to convey the grounded pulse of city life.

This plan was to encapsulate subjects on the streets. Observe their movements, their expressions, their colors, and their surroundings and simply click when it all creates a mise en scène.

What the Streets Taught Me Through Their Stories.

In documenting the streets, I immersed myself in the vibrant tapestry of various city life. I learned to capture raw emotions, fleeting moments, and the poetry hidden in everyday scenes. This project honed my observational skills, patience, and the art of storytelling through visual narratives, shaping my evolving photographic journey.
