London Streets: Capturing The Moment

In 2018 I wrote, “Ever since watching the documentary “Finding Vivian Maier” on Netflix early this year, I have become more intrigued by the connection between being a flaneur, being an everyday tourist and being a street photographer.” My interest in street photography and street culture has only grown since them.

Link: Vivian Maier vs Everday Tourist

While in London late in 2019, I spent a lot of time on the streets studying and documenting the city’s street life. One of the keys to street photography is being in the right place, at the right time, to “capture the moment.”

This online photography exhibition is based on the theme “Capturing The Moment.”
