Street Photography Magazine

Michele Zousmer, the featured photographer in the March 2025 issue of Street Photography Magazine is a San Diego-based humanitarian photographer, has dedicated her photographic work to illuminating overlooked communities and challenging societal perceptions. Starting as a sports photographer capturing her son’s basketball games, Michele’s path led her to document stories ranging from women in prison to homeless choir members, ultimately finding her most profound work among Ireland’s Traveller community. For the past seven years, Michele has immersed herself in the Traveller culture, gaining unprecedented access through an approach that prioritizes human connection over technical perfection. “I literally talk to them. It’s almost like a game,” she explains. “What mascara are you wearing? I’m not kidding. We just like talking makeup on the side of the road.” This seemingly casual approach belies a deeper purpose. Through her recently published book “Mis[s]understood,” she reveals the complex realities of a marginalized community facing widespread discrimination. Her photographs capture both the vibrancy of Traveller culture and the challenges they face, particularly in education and housing. “The more I got to know them, I came back many times,” Michele reflects. “I actually thought that they have a lot of traditions that we’ve lost in America. They are so family oriented. Everything is family. They live together as family. All the generations live together.” Her work with the Voices of Our City Choir in San Diego demonstrates similar depth of connection. What began as documenting a homeless choir led to an intimate film project when choir member Steven Reed asked her to document his final months battling liver cancer. Despite initial hesitation due to her own experience with loss, Michele agreed, creating “Sounds of the Sidewalk: A Journey of Goodbye.” The resulting film not only honored Reed’s story but helped change perceptions of homelessness. “I really feel that way, and I see the world that way,” she says of her approach to humanitarian photography. “I think vulnerability is so important, and I’m always very open and vulnerable. I could be vulnerable with my people that I’m relating to, but I do think you have to be careful who you share it with.” This philosophy has earned her the trust of communities often wary of outsiders, resulting in intimate portraits that challenge viewers to see beyond stereotypes and recognize our shared humanity. This is only part of Michele’s story, so please be sure to listen to our conversation. You won’t regret it.

Eric Turibio, known in the photography community as Ribsy, brings a distinctive approach to street portraiture that emphasizes genuine human connection over technical perfection. Originally starting his photographic journey through food photography, Ribsy has evolved into a committed film photographer who primarily works with medium format cameras to capture compelling portraits of New York City’s inhabitants. In his conversation with Street Photography Magazine, Ribsy discusses how confidence shapes his street photography practice. Rather than adopting the fly-on-the-wall approach favored by many street photographers, he engages directly with his subjects, often approaching them with straightforward requests like “You look really interesting sitting right there. Can I get a photo of you?” This direct method, combined with his authentic interest in how people fit into their environments, has become his signature style. Working primarily with a Yashica 124G medium format camera, Ribsy carefully balances his artistic vision with the practical constraints of film photography. Because there are only 12 frames per roll of 120 film, he makes each interaction and composition count. This deliberate approach extends to his creative process – he describes street portraiture as emotionally demanding work that requires specific mental preparation and dedicated time alone to achieve the best results. Despite relocating from New York City to the Hudson Valley and balancing photography with family life and a full-time career, Ribsy maintains his commitment to documenting the city’s diverse population. Through his YouTube channel and various social media platforms, he shares not only his photographic work but also insights into his process, helping other photographers understand the nuances of street portraiture while maintaining an authentic approach.

Our guest tis week is Dean Hinnant, the Street Photography Magazine featured photographer in the January 2024 issue. Dean’s journey as a photographer centers on an intimate, ongoing documentation of his five siblings. The oldest of six children spanning nearly two decades in age, he transforms his role as big brother into a powerful creative force through his project titled “Blood.” The project gained deeper meaning following his parents’ divorce, which spurred Dean to focus his lens on preserving and exploring the unbreakable bonds between siblings. Armed with his Leica M6 TTL – a camera with its own remarkable history as the former tool of National Geographic photographer William Albert Allard – Hinnant captures both candid moments and environmental portraits that tell the story of his family’s evolution. Dean developed his distinctive photographic voice during a six-month road trip across America in 2021, documenting the country’s emergence from the pandemic. This experience honed his ability to see beauty in everyday moments, a skill he brought home to his family photography. Despite living in different cities and coordinating around split holiday schedules, he never goes anywhere without his camera, ready to capture those in-between moments when his siblings come together. His approach emphasizes trust and respect, allowing his subjects to be themselves while acknowledging their individual paths. This philosophy has led to a collection of images that resonate beyond their personal context, speaking to universal themes of family bonds, growth, and shared history. From his firefighter brother’s wedding to his youngest sister’s budding interest in photography, Dean captures the evolving dynamics of siblinghood with remarkable authenticity. Working exclusively in film, Dean’s project stands as a testament to photography’s power to preserve not just moments, but the complex emotional landscape of family life. His work reminds us that sometimes the most universal stories are found in our most personal connections.

I recently had a very interesting chat with Jeromie Stephens, a talented photographer who’s been documenting the world of bluegrass for many years. If you love the candid, authentic moments in music or on the streets you need to check out the work of our guest Jeromie Stephens. In today’s episode Jeromie and I dig into everything from street photography to the art of catching those spontaneous, off-stage moments that capture a musician’s spirit. Jeromie started off wanting to be a photojournalist, but through his love of music and being inspired by the legendary Jim Marshall, and ended up immersing himself in the world of bluegrass. This shift took him on adventures to festivals and even led him to photograph the 52nd annual Takarazuka Bluegrass Festival in Japan. I first met Jeromie several years ago during a photowalk sponsored by our local camera store. Through this experience I was able to see him work first-hand create interesting compositions with his awareness of shapes in candid scenes then approach complete strangers with kindness and a sincere interest in them to make very personal portraits. One of the things that really stands out about Jeromie’s music work is his preference for capturing the candid, fleeting moments over posed performances. He sees photography as a combination of preparation and spontaneity, much like music itself. This approach allows him to blend into the background, catching the genuine interactions of musicians without disrupting the flow. It’s all about the art of invisibility. Jeromie has this wonderful habit of sharing prints with musicians, which not only builds goodwill but also strengthens the connections within the bluegrass community. He believes in the power of printed photographs, and how they hold a personal touch that digital images just can’t replicate. As a testament to his strong relationships with the musicians he photographs, Jeromie received the 2024 Photographer of the Year Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association. I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as I enjoyed chatting with Jeromie.

In today’s episode I speak with Naeem Douglas, who is our featured photographer in the December 2024 issue of Street Photography Magazine. He’s a former broadcast television journalist who found a new passion in photography. After burning out from the repetitive world of crime reporting, he discovered the calming effect of photography during the pandemic. He’s now a content producer for MoMA Magazine who revels in the creative freedom and objective storytelling the role offers. A native of Philadelphia now in Brooklyn, he compares life in the two iconic cities. He reflects on the neighborhood pride, distinctive accents, and, of course, the food. Armed with a Rolleiflex camera, inspired by photographers like Amy Touchette and Vivian Maier, Naeem prefers to engage with his subjects rather than sneaking a couple shots and moving on. This approach has led to some memorable encounters, including a brush with the legendary Bill Cunningham. However, the streets aren’t always friendly, as Naeem learned when a man dressed as Scottie Pippen refused a photo. In his role at MoMA jumped into the world of podcasting with the limited series “Jazz in the Garden,” a captivating exploration of jazz history at MoMA from the 1960s to 2019. If you love jazz, don’t miss it. Naeem experiments with both digital and film photography, developing black and white film at home while has color processed by a lab. His dedication to the craft is evident in his meticulous record-keeping and desire to dabble in darkroom printing. Despite the rise of AI editing tools, Naeem prefers the authenticity of analog photography. If you’re inspired by stories of transformation, creativity, and connecting through story telling be sure to have a listen to my conversation with Naeem Douglas.

Editor’s note: Today’s episode is a reply of our very first podcast episode with guest Glenn Capers published in November 2014. To this day, Glenn is one of our all-time favorite photographers as is this conversation. Sadly, Glenn passed away three years later. He was a brilliant photographer, inspirational teacher and an all around super cool guy. Don’t miss our conversation. Glenn Capers was more than just an outstanding photographer; he was a storyteller. Glenn had a personable way with his subjects that allowed him to really get to know them and find out their story. Perhaps that is what made his work special. Glenn was originally from New York, though he later called Colorado home. In his career, Glenn was a professional photojournalist, cinema and landscape photographer, and he even took photographs for the Associated Press. He spent much of his time traveling and teaching street photography and journalism around the world. Glenn believed that to be a good photographer, you needed more than just the right techniques and a good camera. Instead, Glenn talked to his subjects. More importantly, he listened to them. He felt that when people were given the chance to tell their story, they validated their reason for living. For this noble reason, Glenn met people, talked to them, visited their homes, and captured their moments. Connecting with people, and freezing those important moments in time to share a person’s story with the world was not just his goal, it was his specialty. In our inaugural episode nearly 10 years ago Glenn shared some interesting experiences and stories, as well as some insight into his methods as a street photographer.

In this episode, I share my engaging conversation with photographer, curator, and publisher Michael Rababy about his upcoming book, “CASINOLAND, Tired of Winning.” Set to release on November 5, 2024, in independent bookstores and on Amazon. This work which is the result of a 30-year personal photo project, offers a unique and witty visual perspective on American casino culture. The Concept Rababy explains, “The concept of the book is to contrast casino commercials that promise you the world versus the visual reality that I translate when I’m at these locations all over America. It’s not just Vegas but Atlantic City, Reno, and basically any casino area I’ve stumbled across in the last 30 years.” “CASINOLAND: Tired of Winning” presents a satirical yet poignant look at the casino industry. Rababy juxtaposes cheap, gimmicky marketing slogans with real-life images, creating a stark contrast between promise and reality. For instance, one spread pairs the phrase “You’re Going to Need a Bigger Wallet” with a photo of a overwhelmed man managing four young children in a casino parking lot. A Visual Journey The book spans 160 pages, featuring images from Rababy’s 30-year archive. It offers a fresh take on consumerism and gambling culture across the United States, presenting a glitzy yet gritty universe of American casinos. The Publishing Process As an experienced publisher, Rababy shared insights into working with authors, designers, and promoting visually rich books. He’s planning an upcoming exhibit of selected photos from “CASINOLAND,” which will include high-quality images and an AI-generated casino ad. Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing We discussed the pros and cons of self-publishing versus traditional publishing, a topic particularly relevant as Street Photography Magazine prepares to publish its first book. Rababy’s plans for international distribution and exhibitions in Asia highlight the complexities of book promotion and distribution. Long-Term Projects Rababy also touched on the challenges of crafting long-term projects like “CASINOLAND” and “America Bachelor,” offering valuable insights into the creative process. Artistic Influences and Commitment to Quality Inspired by legends like Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams, Rababy emphasizes the importance of capturing fine details in person. He’s committed to producing high-quality fine art prints, learning from experienced printers, and using premium materials. Early Access and Bonus Content While “CASINOLAND: Tired of Winning” won’t be widely available until November 5, readers can purchase a copy now from Michael’s website . These early copies will be signed by the author and include a bonus print. Links from the show Michael’s Website CASINOLAND:Tired of Winning on Michael’s website…

In today’s episode we welcome award-winning Swedish photographer Johan Jelbo. Fresh off his win of the series competition at the first annual Dublin Street Photography Festival, Johan discusses his use of flash photography on the street journey, insights, and future endeavors in the realm of photography. Johan’s love affair with photography began with simple compact cameras, but his passion soon evolved into a serious pursuit of street and portrait photography. Inspired by legendary photographers like Bruce Gilden, Johan transitioned to using flash, mastering its technical aspects and using off-camera flash. His approach brings an edge to his candid shots, setting his work apart in the increasingly crowded world of street photography. He spent over 10 years of documenting the rural markets of southern Sweden where honed his street photography skills. This project culminated in the publication of his book “ Stranger Than Fiction ,” which documents the evolution of these events from a “sins nest” to what are now tame venues for family outings. In the process the project reveals the evolution of Johan’s own style. Along the way this work raises ethical considerations, such as photographing children and obtaining consent at public events. A passion of Johan’s is his involvement with the Full Frontal Flash collective, a group dedicated to street photography using flash. Despite the challenges of project coordination, this collective has pushed the boundaries of traditional street photography, bringing new perspectives and techniques to the forefront. Johan shares the emotional process of creating a photo book. As for the future he has a desire to to take on new projects and continues to share his journey with his social media audience. And he currently has work exhibited at the Arbetets Museum Norrköping Sweden through January 2025 Links from the show Johan’s Website Instagram Full Frontal Flash Collective Website Arbetets Museum Norrköping…

Our guest this week is Karlynne Wintels who is also the featured photographer in the September 2024 issue of Street Photography Magazine. Originally from the Netherlands, she had been living in Singapore with her family over the past several years. When we spoke to her several weeks ago she was packing to move back to her home country. Karlynne has always had a passion for photography, even back in 2006 during a family trip to Cuba when she unknowingly captured street-style images with her father’s Nikon. About ten years ago she moved to Tokyo, where she dabbled in urban photography, focusing on shapes and textures rather than people. It wasn’t until her big move to Singapore that things took a serious turn. In 2020, after a corporate shake-up combined with the pandemic, Karlynne decided to dive headfirst into photography. She enrolled in a part-time diploma course to learn the technical side of things because she was mostly shooting in automatic mode before that. This course opened her eyes to the world of photography, and she connected with some amazing people along the way. During her time in Singapore, Karlynne really honed her street photography skills. She became part of the Women in Street Singapore community and took part in their local exhibitions. Her photography focuses on capturing candid moments, often portraying the beauty of everyday life, whether on the streets or with families. She’s drawn to those real-life in-between moments, like a mother comforting her child or a spontaneous laugh between family members. She applies her street-style approach in her family photography business. Karlynne offers a “day in the life” service where she documents families in a natural, storytelling manner. She believes in capturing those intimate, sometimes overlooked moments that represent family life. Her clients often express gratitude for her work, which she finds incredibly rewarding. Karlynne also embraces the artistic side of photography. She’s been experimenting with both color and black-and-white photography, and she takes great care in curating her online galleries, often telling a story through the images. This ability to see the narrative in her photos really sets her apart. Now that she’s back in The Netherlands, Karlynne is looking forward to reconnecting with her roots and is eager to see how her photography will evolve in a new environment. Karlynne Wintels is a storyteller who captures life in all its beautiful, messy glory. If you’re curious about her work, you can find her on her website, kwphotography.com, and check out her Instagram for a peek into her creative world. Street Photography Magazine subscribers can read Ashley’s in-depth article about Karlynne and a sample of her work when it’s published on September 1. Watch your email box for the the notice.

Today on the Street Photography Magazine podcast, we have a fascinating guest who I met in an unusual way – Lynne McPeake, a retired graphic designer and photographer from the Peak District in the UK. I first crossed paths with Lynne during my travels to Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and the Scottish Shetland Islands early this summer. It was in Shetland – inspired by the TV show “Shetland” – that I stumbled upon the Shetland Museum & Archives in the town of Lerwick showcasing Lynne’s 1971 documentary-style photography of dock workers. Her work was so compelling, it led to our conversation that you will hear on this episode. Lynne’s journey into photography started with a simple Kodak Brownie camera she received at age eleven. From there, she honed a unique artistic approach by blending her love for drawing and photography. She’s experimented with movement and multiple exposures, bringing a dynamic edge and painterly style to her photos. During the Covid pandemic, Lynne found herself diving into old black and white negatives, which caught the attention of her friend Colin Smith and photographer who showed the work to the Family History Society in Shetland. This sparked the idea for an exhibition featuring Lynne’s work about local subjects. With support from Smith, and local fine-art printer Lynne creates a display of 18 framed images for her one-woman exhibit at the museum. As a result of the exhibition Lynne has reconnected with subjects from her old photos, like a 71-year-old former dock worker reminiscing about his crane-operating days. Throughout our chat, Lynne shares her artistic journey, touching on everything from her time in art college to her recent experiments with intentional camera movement (ICM) and an inspiring online course with photographer Charlotte Bellamy. She’s got some exciting projects lined up, including an exhibition in Derbyshire titled “A Different Point of View,” where her photos will be showcased alongside a friend’s paintings. Lynne believes in the power of drawing to enhance observational skills, which translates beautifully into her street photography. Lynne’s insights and experiences demonstrate that old work never dies. Give the show a listen to learn from her passion and creativity.

Our guest this week is John M. Simpson the featured photographer in the of August 2024 issue of Street Photography Magazine, who brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to street photography. A retired history professor and former military man, John’s journey into photojournalism began with a simple thought: “I can do a better job.” This led him down a path that included multiple embedments as a photojournalist in Iraq and Afghanistan during intense periods of conflict. John’s approach to photography is deeply personal and driven by a desire to tell important stories. His current focus is on documenting the lives of homeless individuals in Olympia, Washington. What sets John apart is his commitment to spending time with his subjects, getting to know them, and approaching his work with genuine respect and compassion. In our conversation, John shares insights from his experiences as an embedded photojournalist and how that informs his current work. He emphasizes the importance of building trust, getting close to subjects, and letting photographs come to him rather than actively hunting for shots. John’s work isn’t just about capturing images – it’s about shedding light on important social issues and giving a voice to those who are often marginalized. His passion for his subjects and his craft comes through clearly in our discussion. Whether you’re interested in street photography, photojournalism, or simply hearing from someone with a unique life story, I think you’ll find our conversation with John engaging and thought-provoking. Give the podcast a listen – I’m sure you’ll come away inspired by John’s dedication and perspective. Links from the show John’s work on Social Documentary Network…

Our guest today is Brooklyn native, Gretchen Grace, a fascinating street photographer whose journey in photography began with a high school class that sparked her passion. since then she’s been capturing the street scenes of New York City for decades. Gretchen recently published a book called “Two Way Street” that showcases her unique vision. It’s an interesting mix of her classic black and white film work from the ’90s and early 2000s, alongside more recent color abstractions she’s been working on recently. This blend gives us a peek into how her style and perspective have evolved over time. What I really like about Gretchen is her ability to find those “moments of the everyday” – those little slices of life that might seem ordinary at first glance, but become something special upon looking deeper. She has a knack for spotting those in-between moments that tell a story all their own. Gretchen’s background in design has influenced her photographic eye, especially in her more recent abstract work. She describes these pieces as “photographic paintings.” Throughout our chat, Gretchen’s love for New York City and its endless parade of characters and moments is obvious. Whether she’s wandering familiar streets or exploring new corners of the city, her enthusiasm for capturing the essence of urban life is infectious. She continues to push the boundaries of her art, experimenting with new techniques and emphasizing human connection in seizing the “indecisive moments” that define her work. So join us as we explore the world streets of New York through Gretchen Grace’s eyes. Links from the show Gretchen’s Website Instagram Two Way Street…

Russell Banks, the featured photographer in the July 2024 issue of Street Photography Magazine, is a street photographer known for documenting life aboard cruise ships. His visual narratives about passengers and crew have allowed him to carve out a unique niche. Russell’s interest in photography began in childhood when capturing moments on film sparked a lifelong passion. This early fascination guided him through an education that started with an English major and evolved into photojournalism, allowing him to explore the combination of narrative and imagery. At the University of Texas in Austin, he had the opportunity to study under Garry Winogrand, who greatly influenced his personal style and approach, which is evident in his work today. Before presenting his work to the market, Russell attended esteemed portfolio review events like FotoFest in Houston. The feedback he received from publishers and photo editors confirmed the potential of his cruise ship project. So, he began showcasing his work to publications and galleries. His hard work resulted in a solo exhibit in Golden, Colorado, another at the Viewpoint Photographic Gallery in Sacramento, California, and a feature story in Street Photography Magazine. Russell also discusses the process of preparing his work for these exhibits, a task that requires meticulous attention to detail, from printing large-format images to handling shipping logistics – a process that is not inexpensive. As my business mentor once said years ago, “don’t wait for the phone to ring,” that’s a motto that Russell applies to promoting his own photography. He adeptly researches potential exhibition venues, identifies key contacts at publications, crafts personalized pitches, and maintains an active online presence. He approaches the business side of photography with the same dedication as his art.

Kenneth Wajda, a commercial and editorial photographer from Colorado, enjoys making street portraits in his spare time. His outgoing and friendly nature helps him approach strangers for permission to take their portraits. His secret weapon? A classic Rolleiflex TLR camera, which he describes as the perfect icebreaker. Kenneth has written an article about his experience with the Rolleiflex camera for Street Photography Magazine, set to appear in the June 2024 issue on Sunday, June 23. In today’s discussion, Kenneth shares his approach to street portraiture using the Rolleiflex and Ilford HP 5 film, his settings for different lighting conditions, and his preference for shooting in sunlight. He stresses the importance of engaging with people on the street, sharing experiences from various locations like flea markets and small towns. A key insight from our conversation is Kenneth’s mantra, “The muse exists, but she has to find you working.” This means that inspiration will come when you start working. Kenneth, also involved in movie production, uses a copy stand and a Nikon DSLR to photograph negatives for digital use, finding this method more effective than dedicated scanners. Kenneth recently founded the Rolleiflexers Collective to showcase the work of photographers documenting street life with the Rolleiflex camera. The group aims to share their work and inspire each other. He strongly believes in the value of meetups, events, and competitions as platforms for photographers to showcase their work and build community. Kenneth also emphasizes the importance of printing your work and finding ways to publish it, even if it means self-publishing through a zine or book.
