Where “City in a Mirror” was controlled and planned down to the last frame, “Street Photography” is the complete opposite. This is pure documentary photography: people and the city caught as they are, with no direction at all. The series was made on walks around Zadar, with my Nikon D5300 always at hand, ready for a moment that can't be repeated.

Photographing people without posing

The biggest challenge in street photography isn't gear, it's patience. The best shots come when you're inconspicuous enough that people forget about the camera, or when a scene moves so fast there's simply no time to pose. I focus on ordinary everyday moments: passers-by, architecture, shadows and geometry that appears on the street by chance. Nothing is staged, and that unpredictability is exactly what keeps me interested in this genre.

Why black and white still wins on the street

Black and white in street photography isn't just an aesthetic choice, it's a practical tool. Remove the colour and you remove the distraction, so the viewer's attention goes straight to the composition, contrast and emotion in the frame. For me it's also a way of connecting with the classics of the genre, street photography as it existed before digital editing was even an option. This series is really the counterpart to “City in a Mirror”: the same camera and the same black-and-white palette, but here nothing is staged, I just chase the moment.
