- Stephen Leslie | Elbows
At iN-PUBLiC, we love to feature the work of people who are taking candid public photography or perhaps Street Photography in a new and unique direction. London Based Photographer and writer Stephen Leslie is known for his book ‘Sparks’ in which he writes elaborate fictional narratives inspired by one of his own candid public photographs. Stephens imagination runs wild within the space left by the inherent ambiguity of most Street Photographs. We are presented with the appearance but we can only guess at the reality, in ‘Sparks’ Stephen writes his own. Stephen’s quirky take on life in general has now … Continue reading Stephen Leslie | Elbows - Ryan Hardman | Straight Outta Plymouth
Ryan Hardman has been photographing the streets of the British Naval City of Plymouth for nearly three years. Plymouth was heavily bombed during WWII and unsympathetically rebuilt in the 1950’s largely in concrete, the City has since been going through an urban redevelopment but still has a lot of social and economic problems. Ryans pictures capture a subtle sense of malaise and urban deprivation as well as the working class demographic of the city. Scenes set against the stained grey buildings and car parks as well as the tired shopping streets give us a real sense of the place as … Continue reading Ryan Hardman | Straight Outta Plymouth - Lesya Kim | Italian Street Photography 1st Prize
iN-PUBLiC member Lesya Kim was selected by Magnum Photographer Alex Majoli as the winner of the Storytelling category of the Italian StreetPhoto Festival with her series ‘Not old enough, not kids anymore!’ A sensitive portrayal of a group of young friends living through uncertain times and facing an uncertain future, the pictures remind us of those first few tentative years of adulthood, finding oneself and emerging into the world. “The unusual heatwave came to the Russian Siberia this summer. Сovid-19 set new rules up in our lives: the dates of final school exams were being shifted, parties and cinema were … Continue reading Lesya Kim | Italian Street Photography 1st Prize - Sarah Lee | Lockdown London
When the Covid19 virus arrived in the UK at the beginning of 2020, Sarah Lee, a busy working London photographer, found herself having to stop work and avoid people in order to protect her partner who was in a medically vulnerable position. For someone who is used to making pictures on a daily basis, having to stop using a camera and creating can affect your sense of self and purpose. Sarah started to document her life under lockdown, at first with her iPhone and later with her Leica M10. The pictures included views from her apartment windows of the sun … Continue reading Sarah Lee | Lockdown London - Remembering Sara T’Rula
iN-PUBLiC recently became aware of the sad death of the musician and photographer Sara T’Rula in Liverpool in July 2018. Following her death, Sara’s mother Sally had no access to Sara’s computer or online accounts and had no way of reaching those in the photography community who knew her. iN-PUBLiC member Nils Jorgensen discovered an account in the Liverpool Echo of the inquest into Sara’s death which left us shocked and saddened. 18 months after her passing we wanted to remember Sara here and give those that new Sara an opportunity to recall this highly intelligent, vibrant, caring and creative … Continue reading Remembering Sara T’Rula - Pau Buscato joins iN-PUBLiC

iN-PUBLiC founder and London based Street Photographer Nick Turpin is doing a Street Photography Workshop over three weeks with The Miami Street Photography Festival. The workshops consists of three Saturday seminars and a private one to one appraisal session with Nick. “Contemporary Street Photographers find themselves on the creative edge of 100 years of Street Photography heritage from the first roll film Leica through the experimental early days of Paris via the cut and thrust of 60’s/70’s New York to the present digital age of global image sharing. The tradition of candid public photography remains central but everything else is … Continue reading Online Street Photography Workshop with Nick Turpin - IP Flickr | Featured Image Barry Delaney
Nils Jorgensen selected this image by Street Photographer Barry Delaney for the iN-PUBLiC Flickr Pool. This image, taken at the 40ft swimming area in Dublin features nearly 50 young people, a scene that could have been incredibly chaotic has been made orderly and composed by the photographers camera. Within the busy scene there are gorgeous little dramas, interactions, details and moments. At the centre of the frame in a small space, a girl, hand on her chest, faces us opened mouthed. She creates a visual entry point and anchor for the mass of activity swirling around her. The composition allows for a … Continue reading IP Flickr | Featured Image Barry Delaney
- Street Photography: Breaking the Template
Has Street Photography become a series of often reproduced templates? Has the world of Street Photography become a Goldfish Bowl? In this IP thought piece Nick Turpin looks at what we can learn from photographers who candidly photograph the public realm but are rarely referred to as Street Photographers. - Street Photography in Documenting the Public Realm
Have we been so busy doing Street Photography that we have stopped thinking about it? we have forgotten that Photography is just a medium that still needs to say something in order to be significant and meaningful. We have become so intrigued with the light and colour and shadows and clever visual echos that please the eyes that we have overlooked the power of Street Photography to explore and document the public realm in a way that pleases the brain. - Undefining Street Photography
In an article first published in 2012 Nick Turpin suggests that perhaps Street Photography doesn’t need defining because it is, in fact, just Photography in it simplest form. Maybe it is all other forms of photography that need defining to separate them from that basic urge to respond to a scene with a camera that is…Street Photography.
