Documentary photography, deeply rooted in photojournalism, actively captures the essence of real-life events and situations, aiming to narrate stories about people, places, and cultures. This genre significantly intersects with my primary focusโstreet photography. Both styles prioritize candid moments, driven by a strong desire to reveal societal truths through the lens.
Although I have never officially worked as a news photographer, I draw profound influence from documentary and photojournalism techniques, particularly those used by legendary documentary photographers from the Vietnam War era. For decades, I have committed myself to capturing compelling scenes that showcase the vibrant and often raw interactions of everyday life. Here, I present a selection of my photographs that embody this documentary-like style. My passion for street and documentary photography, enriched with elements of photojournalism, drives my ambition to eventually advance professionally in this field, aiming to create impactful work that not only documents but also educates and deeply connects with viewers.
