Interview with Gulnara Samoilova

March 15, 2020 By Gulnara Samoilova

This month, it was an honor to speak with Gulnara Samoilova, a fine art, documentary and street photographer who was born in Russia and later moved to New York City in 1992. Before moving to the U.S., Gulnara was actually the only female fine art photographer in the Autonomous Republic of Bashkortostan, where she was born. As you can imagine, Gulnara has had some extraordinary experiences as a photographer, including being on site as the World Trade Centers fell on 9/11. We spoke about that

End of the Line

March 15, 2020 By Greg Cohen

I believe documentary photography is a subjective depiction of the photographer’s world and that’s how I approach my subjects. I use the medium to explore the world around me, placing myself in situations that I may not have without my camera.  It’s a very voyeuristic approach. I almost exclusively shoot wide angle so that I am extremely close to my subjects, almost another element within the photograph just out of the frame. I want to feel like I really experienced what I’m depicting, so

City Life in Marrakech

March 15, 2020 By Nils Leonhardt

Nils Leonhardt

Marrakech is Morocco’s third largest city, situated at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. It is a sprawling conglomeration of street art, monkey trainers, motorbikes, juice stands and henna tattoo artists. An exotic pattern of richly stocked souls ripe for story telling through the lens of a camera. Within these medieval walls of arts and crafts, tanneries and Saadian tombs lie the abundance of city life and all that Jemaa el-Fnaa – the main square – has to offer. As the sun sets, more of

Claudio Blanc on Street Photography

March 15, 2020 By SPM Staff

How did you get into street photography? I got into street photography as a way to escape my routine. I signed up for a basic photography course and soon I was hooked on the street photography genre. In fact, it became a real vice for me. I was going out every day to shoot, posting photos to social media networks, watching documentaries, looking at web pages and blogs, going to expos, reading books, EVERYTHING. Later, that initial intensity waned, but street photography is still my favorite
