A Walk in the City (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Finding interesting places in the city is what I like, then wait for the perfect moment to include the human figure in the frame is what I usually do in my Street Photography, leaving the subject relatively small giving the background an important roll in the image.
AUTHOR
