📍 Yerevan, Armenia.
Yerevan is a city built on architectural extremes.
When you walk these streets with a camera, you are constantly shifting between eras. One moment you are dwarfed by the heavy, rigid geometry of Soviet-era brutalism, and the next, you are standing in front of sanctuaries carved from ancient stone.
As a documentary photographer, the architecture isn't just a background; it dictates how people exist within the frame. Whether someone is finding a quiet corner in a massive concrete cascade or stepping out from the shadows of centuries-old tradition, the environment shapes the human element.
Embracing the deep shadows and harsh highlights to capture the true texture of the city.

📍 La Gacilly, Bretagne.
Walk through the streets of La Gacilly, and you are not just exploring a Breton village—you are walking through a massive, open-air canvas.
Every summer, this town transforms into the largest outdoor photography festival in France. Seeing these monumental prints displayed against ancient stone walls, tucked into the lush gardens, and reflecting along the riverbanks gives the images an entirely new context. The architecture and nature literally frame the art.
From historical archives to striking contemporary portraits, the curation forces you to slow down and observe. It is a powerful reminder of how much impact a photograph can have when it is brought out of the screen and integrated into the physical world.
🌿 The festival runs through the end of October. If you are in Brittany, it is an absolute must-see.

Galata Blues.
What the eye sees versus what the viewfinder captures.
Underneath the Galata Bridge, the light plays tricks. I found this geometric framing along the blue stairways and simply waited for the right elements to align—a passing silhouette, a resting cat, a quiet moment hidden within the chaos of Istanbul.
Shot on the Leica M10 paired with the 28mm f2.8 Elmarit. To get this specific, moody rendering, my street settings are locked: f/8 for deep focus, a fast shutter, and dialing the Auto ISO back to -0.3 EV. Protecting the highlights and letting those shadows crush turns a bright, ordinary walkway into a deep, cinematic frame. 🔴📷

August 1 | Istanbul.

There is a specific rhythm to shooting the streets of Istanbul with a 28mm lens. You can't hide. You have to step directly into the chaos, the shadows, and the daily lives of the people.
For this series, I relied entirely on the Leica M10 paired with the 28mm f2.8 Elmarit. It is the ultimate documentary setup. The 28mm gives you the environmental context of these historic, textured alleys, while the M10 sensor handles the harsh transition between the blinding midday sun and the deep shadows flawlessly.

To get this specific high-contrast rendering, my go-to street settings are locked in: f/8 to f/11 for zone focusing, a fast 1/250-1/500 shutter, and Auto ISO dialed back to -0.3 EV. Exposing for the highlights and letting those shadows crush is where the magic happens. 🔴📷

📍 Istanbul.
Rain completely changes the rhythm of a city. The streets empty out, the light gets heavy, and the cobblestones turn into mirrors.
While I usually lean into high-contrast black and white, a grey, stormy day in Istanbul practically demands color. The bright yellow of a raincoat, the deep blue of the architecture, the green of a hurried pedestrian—these flashes of color become the actual subjects against the moody backdrop of the Bosphorus.
The rain forces you to slow down, take shelter, and wait for the composition to come to you.

The best way to shoot the street is to become part of it.
Navigating Morocco on a motorcycle completely changes how you see the country. You aren't insulated behind the glass of a car or a train; you feel the heat, the dust, and the immediate shift in the light.
It allows you to pull over the second a scene unfolds. Moving from the chaos of the road to the complete stillness of a portrait is the ultimate documentary rush. And out here, the colors demand to be captured exactly as they are.
🏍️ Do you prefer to scout locations slowly on foot, or cover ground quickly to find the shot? 👇

Some landscapes refuse to be seen in black and white.
Swapping my usual high-contrast monochrome for the undeniable palette of Morocco. From the dust of the winding roads to the tight, vibrant alleys of the medinas, this environment demands color.
The warmth of the terracotta walls, the deep blues of the painted murals, and the explosive dyes of the handwoven rugs—the color here isn't just an aesthetic; it is part of the street's soul. As a documentary photographer, you have to adapt to what the light and the culture give you.

June 13 | Nantes, France.
If you know my work, you know I document the streets in black and white. But today, I had to break my own rule.
To strip the color from the Marche des Fiertés felt like stripping away part of its soul. The vibrancy, the painted faces, the flags—the color itself is the message. It is a form of resistance, solidarity, and pure, unapologetic joy.
Navigating the crowds in Nantes today, I wanted to capture not just the faces, but the energy of a community demanding to be seen exactly as they are.
Here is a look through the viewfinder at the true colors of today’s march.

The oldest streets hold the deepest stories.
When walking through Kond, one of the oldest surviving neighborhoods in Yerevan, the camera is secondary. The real art of documentary photography is the conversation.

These are the moments that make street photography mean something.

When you take the time to actually speak with the people who shape the neighborhood, the resulting portrait carries so much more weight. It stops being a picture of a stranger and becomes a record of a meeting.

🗣️ Listen to our conversation in the video. Do you talk to your subjects before you shoot? 👇

May 1, 2025 | Paris, France.
Exactly one year ago today, the streets of Paris became a theater of resistance.
May Day (1er Mai) is never just a holiday in France; it is a profound declaration of workers' rights, solidarity, and the relentless demand to be heard.
As a documentary photographer, navigating the intense energy of a Parisian demonstration is an adrenaline rush. You are surrounded by noise, smoke, and sheer human conviction. Your only job is to cut through the chaos and find the truth of the moment.
These are scenes from last year’s march—capturing the raw, unfiltered reality of the streets. The years change, but the spirit of May 1st remains unbroken.
✊ Share this to your story to honor the spirit of May Day. Which of these moments holds the most power for you?
