Street photo in Brussels vol.1




These photographs were taken on one afternoon in June 2008. I always wondered what makes photographs taken a few dacedes ago so special. It is the fact that they show what the people looked like and how they ran their daily lives - what kind of clothes they wore, what kind of cars they drove, etc. Such photographs do not have to be necessarily pieces of art, but they need to show reality. This is the effect that I strove to achieve and I hope that in one hundred years somebody looking at my pictures will say "Allright, so this is what it looked like back then? Interesting...".

The added value of this series is that I managed to photograph Helmut Newton in his Porsche 1950:-) The gear as usual - Canon A1 and Kodak Tx400.
