Street photography

Street photography is a meditation, it’s an escape. It is a constant treasure hunt. I found myself drawn to the streets when I moved to a new environment years ago. I fell in love with the city and the people in it. I’m constantly hunting for light and shadows, interesting people and situations. These moments are captured mostly in Boston, New York, Oslo and Tallinn.
