WHERE PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO SHOOT IN BLACK AND WHITE COME TO LEARN, SHARE AND GROW
Photographer Spotlight: Steven Sosa
Steven Sosa has been at it long enough to know that the style you develop is not something you plan. It is something you discover through practice and persistence and the willingness to keep going even when the motivation is hard to find. He shoots street on a Fujifilm X-Pro 2, X100V, Ricoh GR3, and a brand new Leica M10P. We asked him about the journey, photographing New York City, and why the spontaneous shots are always the best ones.
Photographer Spotlight: Kevin Delajoud
Kevin Delajoud came to photography through architecture and urban spaces and has never really left. His work is built on geometry, negative space, and the particular kind of emptiness that says something true about how people move through cities without ever really seeing them. He shoots with a Canon R7, edits minimally in Photoshop, and has been taking his eldest son on photo walks since the boy was three years old. We asked him about all of it.
Photographer Spotlight: Stephen Uhraney
Stephen Uhraney has been photographing real life for over 40 years and he still does not feel like it is work. The Toronto based documentary and street photographer shoots film and digital side by side, embeds with firefighters and police marine units, and carries a Rolleiflex alongside his digital gear. We asked him about the box camera his grandfather brought from the old country, why black and white lets the truth breathe, and what he would tell his younger self.
Photographer Spotlight: Bettina Kardell
Bettina Kardel came to photography during the pandemic and found her way to street photography almost immediately. Her work is minimalist, graphic, and built around the geometry of urban spaces. She shoots with prime lenses and a Leica Q3 Monochrom and is currently working on her first photo book. We asked her about all of it.
Photographer Spotlight: Matt Hodson
Matt Hodson calls his style post-street. Not the decisive moment but the moment after. Not the person but the space they left behind. It sounds like a stylistic choice. It is also a philosophy that grew directly out of grief. Here is the photographer behind it.
Photographer Spotlight: Kirill Baranovskiy
Kirill Baranovskiy on street photography, shooting spontaneously, and why the best photographs tell their own story.
Photographer Spotlight: Robert Stacy
Robert Stacy has spent his career pointing his camera at the things the world would rather look away from. Reproductive rights, civil rights, homelessness, economic justice. Not because it is comfortable but because he believes photography can change things. We talked to him about dignity, spontaneity, and why he always walks back the way he came.
