WHO? A street photographer. A man with nothing special to say. Husband, father, Japanese businessman.
Interviews
Interview with Nayeem Siddiquee
WHO? My full name is A B M Nayeem Siddiquee but people know me as Nayeem Jabaz. I am a very lazy person who is always late everywhere, loves to eat a lot and is happily single. I am 26 years old and was born from a middle class family in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where I grew up.
Interview with Cam Crosland
WHO? My name is Cam Crosland, otherwise known as “CJ” Crosland. I live in Surrey in the UK, close to London. I started out as a Modern History & Political Science graduate and musician working as a software tester. I’ve always been fascinated by visual art, my favourite artist being Edvard Munch, and wanted to create images which made me feel the same intensity as his paintings.
Interview with Fidalgo Pedrosa
WHO? I was born in Lisbon and started photographing at the age of 20. My passion for photography was due to the amazement I felt when I recognized the ability that the photographs had to tell stories, facts or present beauty in such a reduced space and within 4 edges.
Interview with Jerome Lorieau
WHO? A wanderer. A traveller. A beer drinker. A music fan. A FC Nantes football fan. A humble photobook collector. A French man but most people believe I’m British till they hear my accent. A European. And I guess a photographer. Sometimes a street photographer. Sometimes a documentary photographer. And most of the times a bit of both at the same time.
Interview with Michelle Rick
WHO? I am a native New Yorker and a street photographer. I will always be a New Yorker, born and raised in Greenwich Village and Soho where I still live. I’ll be a New Yorker even if New York sinks to the bottom of the ocean and leaves me stranded on an ice floe.
Interview with Mathias Wasik
WHO? My name is Mathias Wasik, but like many things in my life, this hasn’t always been the case. I was born as “Maciej” in socialist Poland but my parents changed my name after our family had escaped to West Germany in the mid-1980s. Decades later, in 2015, I moved to New York City with Emily, my Australian wife, and that’s – long story short – where my passion for street photography began.
Interview with Thomas Hackenberg
WHO? I was born in 1963, in the German city of Braunschweig. Some of you readers might be familiar with this city as the home of the once famous German camera brands of ROLLEI and VOIGTLÄNDER. I’m married, father to a daughter and a son, in the language business by profession and design, in street photography with my heart.
Interview with Nina Welch-Kling
WHO? My name is Nina Welch-Kling and I grew up in a small, quiet town in southern Germany where everyone knew each other—or at least it seemed that way to me at the time. As the daughter of a Holocaust surviving father and German mother, critically observing my immediate world was, and is, part of my DNA. I have lived in New York City since 1995, married, and have two now college-aged daughters.
Interview with Gloria Salgado Gispert
WHO? My name is Gloria and I am simply someone that loves to go out and take pictures in this world. Life is too short; this is something I learned at an early age when I lost my father after a long illness. This has influenced my way of seeing life. In photography, you materialize who you are. I just try to enjoy every minute.
