URBAN ECHOES: The Art of iPhone Street Photography
URBAN ECHOES: The Art of iPhone Street Photography For generations, street photography has captivated audiences with its raw and unscripted documentation of candid moments in urban settings. The genre has undergone substantial creative evolution over time, yet the core objectives remain: to capture the essence of daily life through a lens of authenticity and an imaginative eye. Inspired by the mid-twentieth-century masters of street photography, I set out to create images with my smartphone that reflect my interpretation of the urban landscape.

Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr/Instagram Group Showcase 10 April 2022
“I told you I was ill‘, my favourite black comedy quote, by Spike Milligan, engraved into his gravestone.
