Street Photography in Lisbon

Small scenes in the streets

In Lisbon, the narrow streets, colours and celebrations drew me in with my camera. Around each corner was another scene: people in warm light, conversations at the edge of a square, garlands above a street or a passing glance.

These everyday moments often stay with me. In this series, I wanted to capture some of the warmth and liveliness of the city as I experienced it on foot.

Keeping the camera close

Travel and street photography are reasons I like to carry a camera even without an assignment. I can watch, follow the light and respond to a moment that cannot be planned. That attentive way of looking also accompanies me in my event photography.

The Lisbon pictures remind me how much there is to discover on a walk.
