Sven Harker, is my personal new discovery of the last months from my country, Germany. I like his excellent view on architecture, on the structure of the environment and the interaction of people in their urban environment. His professional realizations of situations in black and white reduce the information to its clearest point.

Sven Harker, ist meine persönliche Neuentdeckung der letzten Monate aus meinem Land, Deutschland. Ich mag seine exzellente Sicht auf die Architektur, auf die Struktur der Umwelt und die Interaktion der Menschen in ihrem urbanen Umfeld. Seine professionellen Umsetzungen von Situationen in schwarz/ weiß reduzieren die Informationen auf ihren klarsten Punkt.

Sven Harker Fascination Street Photography

By Sven Harker

My name is Sven Harker, I am 32 years old, father of 2 girls and come from the tranquil town of Geldern in NRW (Germany).

I have been taking photographs as a hobby since I was 16 years old. Over time, my hobby has developed more and more into my personal passion.

Due to my youth as a punk, I have a very personal connection to the street.

Because of this, I still like to be sucked up and carried away by the energy of a big city. The only difference is that today I usually have my camera with me.

Street photography is a very big part of my work.

The challenge of finding the „perfect motif“ every day and capturing the stories associated with it in a photo to create an interesting image for the viewer is exactly what fascinates and excites me about street photography time and time again.

For personal reasons, I am regularly drawn to Munich. Munich fascinates me and I feel very comfortable here. Walking through the city with my camera and exploring even the most unknown corners is a lot of fun for me. I‘m particularly fond of Munich‘s underground stations. They offer me a good mixture of clear lines, light, shadow and architectural symmetry.

They remind me of futuristic science fiction films. This is also the reason why I process my pictures in exactly this style.

With my photos I want to give people an impression of science fiction and create a new perspective for these underground stations. https://instagram.com/allesgrau_fotografie?utm_medium=copy_link

Uwe Schröder Albania | Permet: Saint Maria Church of Leusë The future is deeply rooted in the country‘s history.

A young woman, talented, funny, very creative from Albania on her way to the world. She is proud of her country and reflects the new Albania. It was a great pleasure for me to visit Albania. Thank you very much for the great support of our photo group Abi Shehu!

Matthias Leupold > DANKE für den tollen Foto Trip!

„This image has a sanctity which, however, for me, has nothing to do with religion and religiosity. Even if it‘s taken inside this old and beautiful church.

It‘s something else. Beyond that. It‘s what comes out of her eyes and body. From the way she holds the „candle“... standing on that stone circle on the ground that a column has left as a footprint ...

Congratulations dear Uwe, it‘s a deeply powerful photograph!“

„The rhyme and mirrored repeat of her in the painting on the upper left with the hanging lamp or incense burner or candles holder (whatever it is) in front of it is absolutely beautiful. It makes the whole photograph lift off the ground. Well, so does she and her spectacular body language and expression.

Beautifully done, my friend!“

When I chose Pauline Ren for the 8#9 ISP Magazine, I was impressed by her art and the rich vitality of her street photos. With the spectacular frame of Taipei City, she achieves a powerful combination of a perfect composition, without distractions and vibrant colors that are so aesthetically pleasing, a gift to our eyes.

Pauline Ren I start street photography only recent years and focus on fine art streetphotography.

I use light and shadow, colors, lines and shapes to create imeage.

An Amercian photographer - Jay Maisel said: „If you are out there shooting,things will happen for you. If you are not out there,you will only hear about it.“ Share with you!

Mikael Carlsson “I’m a Swedish university teacher and researcher (biology) who is currently working in Hong Kong. I have always loved the art of photography and did some film photography in my youth. However, my true passion for taking pictures took off some five years ago.The street is my scene of choice where I like to catch the fleeting moments of action and the architectural delights. I also enjoy making portraits of strangers in the street or of my friends.”

Title: „Opposites Attract“ | Location: Me‘a She‘arim neighborhood, Jerusalem, Israel

Sharon Eilon

Sharon Eilon „Me‘a She‘arim“ neighborhood in Jerusalem contains mostly Haredi and Hasidic religious population. Life here requires strict adherence to Jewish law. Dress codes include black frock coats and black hats for men, and long-sleeved clothing for women. Married women are required to wear a hair covering. As a secular woman photographer, it was quite a challenge for me to get dressed according to these modesty norms, but it was important to me to respect the values of the neighborhood‘s residents.

I am an Israeli based photographer and an electrical engineer by profession. Following a health crisis, I found myself seeking treatment in India and went through a life-changing journey. After returning home healthy I decided to realize my dream and learn photography. I am fascinated by the world of photography ever since, and I am especially keen about people photography of any kind, whether it is portraiture, street photography or culture photography – anything reflecting the humanity that we all share. For me, the act of photography has a meditative quality, feeling unified with the world around me at the present moment.

And yes, he was right! Yuzo Fujii - took advantage of the rainy days and took great photos of everyday life in Tokyo, umbrellas!

Yuzo Fujii I‘m Mr. Yuzo Fujii, from Tokyo, Japan, born in 1958.

Olivier Avez Le titre de la photo est „La Connaissance“ Le lieu : La Vieille Bourse - Lille - France Mon site : www.olivieravez.com Facebook : www.facebook.com/olivier.avez.96/ Passionnée de photographie et amoureux de sa région des Hauts-de-France, Olivier Avez aime surprendre par ses clichés emprunts d’humanité.

Son objectif, mettre en scène des moments de vie communes sous le prisme de personnes anonymes afin de créer des moments d’émotions puissants voire déstabilisants et susciter des prises de conscience.

Passionate about photography and in love with his Hautsde-France region. He likes to surprise people with his photographs, “borrowing from humanity.”

His objective is to stage moments of common life under the prism of anonymous people in order to create powerful and even unsettling moments of emotion and raise awareness.

For him, each photo is unique and represents a story to share in order to discover a person, a place or a situation. Influenced by well known photographers such as Willy Ronis, Cartier-Bresson, and his meeting with Marc Riboud, he likes to work with street scenes in black and white.

A lover of beaches, deserted little streets, and neighborhood life, he enjoys capturing the unusual in its moment. His shots are mostly instinctive shots. His aspiration is to share expressive moments of emotion.

Pour lui, chaque photo est singulière et représente une histoire à partager afin de découvrir une personne, un lieu ou une situation. Influencé par des grands noms de la photographie tels que Willy Ronis, Cartier-Bresson et sa rencontre avec Marc Riboud, il aime travailler les scènes de rue en noir et blanc.

Amoureux des bords de plages, des petites rues désertées et de la vie des quartiers, il s’amuse à saisir l’insolite d’un instant. Ses prises de vues se constituent en majorité des shoots instinctifs. Son credo, donner à son œuvre l’expression d’une émotion à partager.

Rich Neel Alausi, Ecuador was named one of the „Puebla Magico“ by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Tourism. The train adventure called „el Nariz del Diablo“ (the Devils Nose) is one of the most dramatic reasons. It falls 500 meters over only 12 meters from the 2346 meter elevation of Alausi. This would be difficult to imagine today but it was actualy realized in 1908 at the tragic price of 2,000 men. Today the restored route represents a monumental feat for humans and a symbol of Ecuadors Achievements.

Threatening horizon Dark and threatening clouds hang over the beach where little Maria‘s mother works. While holding with both hands the box with the food that must be enough for the day, as if she were afraid of losing it, she scrutinizes the horizon. A horizon that also seems threatening to her big eyes. What fears, anxieties or doubts will she have at this time when she has apparently stopped being a child and seems to be concerned about her future, like everyone else here on this beach?

Horizonte ameaçador Nuvens negras e ameaçadoras pairam sobre a praia onde a mãe da pequena Maria trabalha. Enquanto segura com ambas as mãos a caixa com a comida que tem de chegar para o dia, como se temesse perdê-la, perscruta o horizonte. Um horizonte que também parece ameaçador aos seus grandes olhos.

Que receios, anseios ou dúvidas ela terá neste momento em que aparentemente deixou de ser criança e parece preocuparse com o seu futuro, como todos os outros que estão aqui nesta praia?

„By the old pier“

By Valentina D‘Amato

ISP MAGAZINE #8_9 | 2021

It is a mysterious pleasure for me to contemplate old fishing piers. Around them, there are true and sad stories such as the crazy woman from the Saint Blas Pier, to whom no ship ever returned her beloved Manuel after he went into the sea. Ancient myths and legends of shipwrecks, monsters and mermaids. And how to forget the Hemingway old cuban fisherman who faces a giant fish in the seas of the Gulf. May be it is the changing colors of the sea, which rises and falls, and goes from tranquility to storm, reminding me our human nature. When

the sun rises, bright and passionate, new stories are born everyday in the old pier. But in the foggy days, without sun or stars, happen the stories I really love. Passing into the dense fog at a slow walking pace, like a myopic without glasses, one can barely distinguish the shapes that hide under the soft range of grays. You can discover an almost hidden fantastic world, where a supersticious sailor is talking with his ship meanwhile seagulls dance with seawolfs among the battered old hulls that await their final voyage.

Francesca Termine Location: Guatemala, Rio Dulce I am Francesca Termine, I am 43 years old and I love to photograph. I have always been a photographer from the desire to try to freeze an emotion of the moment. I love to photograph moment of life, seizing the right moment for me: an action, a look, talking lips, a knowledge pore, a situation. I photograph mainly while traveling, trying to tell, through the shot, what my eyes see and the emotion felt. Because for me photography is exchange!

Gershon Gilat Title : Stairway to earth | Location: Havana, Cuba, 2019 I am not a professional photographer but since my teenage years I’ve always been drawn to photography. To fund the purchase of my first camera I worked during school holidays and through various menial jobs. About five years ago I found myself diving deeper into the world of photography; experimenting with different genres such as landscape, seascape, macro and more. For about two years now, I find myself more and more attracted to street photography and cultural photography and taking photos for the purpose of telling about people or a culture.
