Street Photography by Christian Reister – Urban B’Sides

Nate Kay — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 23:33:57 +0000

Berlin based photographer Christian Reister’s main interest is street photography. After working for one and a half years on ALEX, a photography project in Alexanderplatz Berlin, he is now working on his ongoing project URBAN B’SIDES again.

”Urban B’Sides is a collection of scenes in cities of the western world. At the time I focus mainly on Berlin. Berlin is still an endless resource for my photography and after living here for 13 years now it’s still exciting to just stroll around in the streets with no special target. There’s always something surprising happening. There’s no need to plan or stage anything which for me is the essence for the kind of photography I admire the most.”

Christian Reister is a member of neunplus and runs FENSTER61, a shop window exhibition place for monthly changing exhibitions of various photographers.

Peter Nitsch – Shophouses – 4 x 8 m Bangkok

Nate Kay — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:34:38 +0000

Beyond the skyscrapers and neon signs, which also increasingly oust the traditional cityscape of Bangkok, Peter Nitsch, the photographer-artist, who was born in Germany in 1973, grants us an intimate view of the retail businesses that are typical of Southeast Asia and the lives of their owners. For many of them the mostly two-story shop, that on the lower level is open to the street, is a workplace and living space in one. Thus Nitsch’s photographs condense entire lifestyles in cramped surrounding that are often crammed full to the last centimetre and nevertheless radiate an almost meditative peace.

Check out Peter’s website to see more pictures and to learn more about this cool project and some of his other photography.

Street Photography by Setia Nugraha

Nate Kay — Tue, 11 May 2010 14:49:59 +0000

Born in Bandung, Indonesia in 1980, Setia Nugraha has been living in Nuremberg, Germany since 1999 and has spent a lot of time on the streets shooting since 2006.

Feeling lonely, alienated and frustrated – these feelings emerged within Setia while living in a foreign country. Rather than let it get him down, it encouraged Setia to express himself through photography. He found the streets to be the perfect place to do that.

“I believe that when we are standing on the street we can explore our imaginations, social responsibility and of course sharpen our eyes and heart. As long as the wheel of life is spinning around, we will not run out of idea. As time goes by, and I realize, things we have been through, things we have done, in fact, can result a piece of work. Creating work can be carried out everywhere, anytime. It does not depend on time and place.”
