A Memorial for Mark the Fish outside St Brelade Parish Hall on Jersey. When I took this, I thought it was a really nice flower bed in a well maintained boat. And It was a great shot for my 28mm Summilux. But there is a lot more back story to...
I really like what you can do with the Leica 50mm Summilux. It can have a real vintage or classic feel to it. This, I shot wide open at 64ISO and 1/4000th of a second and I just really like the lens bonus lens flare. Being Leica, despite a shallow...
I like this photo. I grabbed it while travelling with Kodak Ektar and the Leica 50mm Summilux. I just like the expression of the guy giving the cup of drink to the girl. Then the other excited girl skipping in. This is something I really like about 50mm lenses especially...
Snapped on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh on Kodak Porta on my new Leica M-A with the 28mm Elmarit. Are phone booths redundant? Phone booths have indeed become redundant for making phone calls in today’s modern age, thanks to the widespread use of mobile phones. With nearly everyone owning a...
I’ll start with an ethics statement. I asked this lady if I could take her photo to record her plight. She agreed. It was only after I took the picture I gave her a donation which I hope has helped her out in some way. I don’t know anything about...
There is something about this I really like. Not sure if it is the retro vibe with the style of the mannequins, the hats or the sunglasses. Maybe it is a combination of all 3. I think they have some sort of personality going on with the setup. It has...
This is just one of those random street photographs you see coming so I snapped it. For the technical amongst you, I shot it on the Leica M11 with the 35mm Summilix at F1.4 to create that 3d pop look to the image. For me I just like the scene,...
A delicacy for sale on the streets of Kuala Lumpur. Snapped on Changkat near Bukit Bintang. Durian is indeed considered a delicacy in Malaysia, and it holds a special place in the hearts of Malaysians. I was there when Durian resellers were everywhere as it is in season so I...
Street and urban photography is an art form that thrives on spontaneity, capturing candid moments that reveal the essence of city life. From bustling markets to quiet alleyways, towering skyscrapers to street art-covered walls, this genre of photography highlights the pulse and character of urban environments. Each image tells a story, whether it’s the interaction of people, the contrast of light and shadow, or the interplay between the old and the new.
This gallery offers a glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of urban life, showcasing fleeting moments of connection, solitude, and everyday routines.

Each photograph invites you to see the world differently, finding beauty and meaning in the seemingly ordinary.
Through sharp observation and creative composition, these images bring out the raw emotion, grit, and charm of urban spaces. Whether you’re drawn to the energy of crowded streets or the quiet poetry of an empty subway station, this collection celebrates the stories hidden in plain sight. Immerse yourself in the art of street and urban photography and see the city through a new lens—one that reveals the extraordinary in the everyday.
I’m a Leica Street photographer, traveller, avid reviewer, marketer and blogger. I am, by my own admission, a gear nut but I don’t buy gear just to test it or pixel peep. I’m only interested in the art that can be produced with the gear. And seeing what emotions can be brought out in those who see my photos.
