Biography

Fokko Muller - headshot.jpg

"I am a Dutch photographer with a special interest in street photography. Street photography changed my way of looking into the world. I like being on the streets, seeing the interaction between people and hearing the fragments of their conversations. 

I enjoy showing people in their daily environment. I like you to take a closer look and wonder what is happening. Sometimes I want to make you smile. My photos are always made with respect for the subject. 

I teach street photography workshops, I give lectures on street photography and I published my photo book The Street.

I am an official Olympus Visionary and owner of www.straatfotografie.nl 

The best thing about street photography is that you walk out the door and never know what you bring home in your camera."

Hit The Streets 55: Photo Faves with Ugo Cei

Valerie Jardin October 5, 2017

In this new Photo Faves segment, Italian photographer Ugo Cei tells us about his favorite gear, accessories, books, etc.

Bio

Ugo-Cei-Folegandros.jpg

Ugo Cei is a fine-art travel and landscape photographer from Italy. If you were to ask him what he does, he would say that he is an educator who helps photography enthusiasts sharpen their skills, so that they can take amazing pictures.

He does this in various ways. First of all, by providing a wealth of free content on his website and on various other online publications.

He leads photography tours and workshops to some cool destinations, including Venice, the Cinque Terre, Greece, and Oman.


He co-hosts and publishes a weekly podcast about travel photography, The Traveling Image Makers. Every week, they pick the brains of famous and not-so-famous travel photographers to learn what it means to travel for the love of photography and photograph for the love of travel.

Valerie Jardin August 10, 2017

Today is a new Photo Faves segment and I asked Craig Whitehead, aka @SixStreetUnder to come on the show and share his favorite subjects, locations, gear, photography book, etc. 

Bio

I am a Photographer from Cambridge in the UK. I started shooting street seriously a little over a year ago and have been shooting almost everyday since. I originally studied illustration but found I was spending more and more time with my camera. My favourite Camera I have ever owned is the x-pro2 I currently use along with my all time favourite lens the 56mm 1.2. I currently run workshops in london in my spare time and am working towards making photography my full time job.
