Flâneur - Documentary Photography
Found situations and moments of chance
Photography is the visual representation of what we see when we look. The photographs in this collection are records of observations of moments of chance and fleeting, unexpected meetings.
A flâneur is someone, who takes a stroll and observes or sits in a café and watches the world go by. This description is, of course, flippant and probably condescending. In truth, the flâneur is a collector - and a connoisseur - of observations.
With this type of documentary photography the aim is not to go out with preconceived ideas of what you want to find but to have an open mind for what you may find. Some days you find nothing at all.
This is the first time that I have shown most of these photographs publicly. Publishing this collection is an ongoing project in which I also want to show some previous work.
Signed Limited Edition Prints
Prints in a limited edition of five are available to buy. The prints are produced in-house by myself. They are numbered and hand-signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. For this edition I have chosen Kozo Thick White paper from the Japanese paper mill Awagami.
