DESCRIPTION
The beauty of street photography lies in its ability to give us total freedom to explore the urban environment and capture the myriad of stories it offers. This freedom of expression enables us to portray scenes from the same location in unique and unseen ways or discover beauty in unexpected places like a back alley nestled in the heart of a city such as London.
