I am a street photographer based in Atlanta with over 15 years of experience. When I was 12 my dad introduced me to film photography and I haven’t been able to put my camera down since. My work is unconventional, encompassing nearly every aspect of photography, but I am particularly fond of street and architecture genres. I study and capture how buildings interact with people, other structures, and most importantly—light and shadows. I have been included in exhibitions internationally at galleries including Agora Gallery in Manhattan, BBA Gallery in Berlin, and Blank Wall Gallery in Greece.

Some photographers are content to sit behind the camera and observe the world go by. Others use the camera as a stage to engage with the world, shouting out loud, sharing their vision. I tend to be the former. My home loan paying job requires me to step up and fully engage with the world. I use my photography as a way to regain my zen, drawing strength from the people I observe through the view finder.

Often, I like to think about myself as someone that deals with the rediscovery of meanings. I practice both film and digital photography and try to shoot relevant moments for people life habits, beyond supra-aesthetic aspects of photography. I am a social worker and I am interested in cultures and different social groups practices. Also I study visual anthropology and I trust in the power of photography in a social documentary approach and socio-emotional therapy.

Driven by curiosity and wonder, my photography focuses on ordinary interaction of people, their life, struggle, survival and their urban environment. Exploring and documenting the human condition – one moment at a time. In my images, I try to blend out the noise of today’s increasingly fast-moving world and extract the beautiful moments of everyday life that often go unnoticed. In my street photography project, I attempted to chronicle life cycles with a universal approach: noticing all parts of life working together as time passes us by. At first, my perspective absorbed daily routine of people living in old Delhi and various parts of the NCR (National Capital Region). Those who are involved in waste management, street hawking, roadside food vendors, hustle and bustle and bustle of rush hours. From this I began to see the sheer contrast in the design of Old Delhi and other parts of NCR itself. Never before had I noticed such a beautiful homogenizing of kids, youth and aged as well as animals on the city streets , side-by-side going about their various daily routine without so much as a second glance. What seemed most intriguing was the vast similarity of the facial expressions of all of these people as well as animal kind could be. Nearly identical in instances of joy, sorrow, curiosity, anger and pain could be seen on the faces of these people that I had never even seen before, people I would likely never see ever again and understand their purpose behind their various expressions. Through my lens, I could find hidden meanings of so many little things that we disregard each day. It was the significance of recovering our composure in our busy lives. In order to keep ourselves conscious of changes, we should be conscious of our surroundings first. This is the new definition of the city life that I could derive from my photography project. Sometimes, we get lost in the flurry of life. Things are born, things happen in between, and then things are gone. But how often is this all thought about as a whole? People either dwell on the past, enjoy the present, or plan relentlessly for the future.

Photography taught me to ask myself which is the reality, where it is and whether it exists. I conflated early the illusion that I take pictures of reality. So, I started studying the frame and my aim was to understand the content. I concluded in endless ascertainments, I tore them inside and some other times outside. In time I realized that everything I allowed to enter in my field of vision was the “signified” of my existence. The composition of a picture is everything that does not appear or exists in the photographer’s soul when she takes a shot. A picture cannot exist if it has nothing to say and the photographer exists because she can communicate pictures. In this point there exists a tiny deception from the picture’s view: “it promises reality” just like it happens in illusive love when “it promises the ideal”. The photographer does not use words, he/she uses the frame for communication. She does not possess reality, not even her own reality but, for sure, she is not contained in what she imprints with the camera. Every shooting resembles a search. The difference is that the photographer dives into the unconscious. YPATIA KORNAROU Photography taught me to ask myself which is the reality, where it is and whether it exists.

I am a self-taught photographer. I am a curious girl living in my own ideal world of infinite possibilities, I’m the eternal daydreamer! What attracts me about photography is its visionary and its super power to go beyond reality. In this way it teaches me to “look harder” at people, things and situations, enriching my natural curiosity: I think that’s why it fits my personality so well. The photos shown here are from my project “Vitamin Sea” that I started out some years ago. It’s an ongoing, personal project that I keep on adding to every summer when I get back to Barletta, my hometown in the South of Italy, where my parents still live. The aim of this project is to portray the positive interaction between people and the sea in a beach environment. My sea is a lively place, a bright place of joy. A sort of natural supplement of vitamin, the “vitamin sea”, able to recharge one’s personal batteries like nothing else, ready to make you feel alive again, and full of energies. So, with that in mind, I tried to capture with my camera that playful and happy co-existence, observing people’s behaviour, looking for the impromptu geometries created by pure chance, highlighting this cheerful intercourse.

I am a freelance photographer shooting mainly in St. Petersburg and the North-West Region of Russia. My first camera was a Soviet 'Smena', given to me by my father in school years. Since then, my passion for photography has flared up, then faded, and has become my undying passion already at a much more mature age. Recently, I have been shooting more and more on monolens, a very special lens that allows the viewer to go beyond the frame, leaving space for the imagination, and bringing us back to our past or our dreams.
