Together we answer questions about whether or not people need to be included in the frame to qualify as street photography, how to handle a confrontational subject on the streets and how to know if you are ready to make money with your photography. The questions were sent by Pierre Pichot, Marvin Girbig and Mark Everett Sanders.

This week I introduce you Gina Williams. I met Gina last year during a workshop in Paris. A few months later I found out that after her trip she had made the decision to pursue her life long love and talent for writing and combine it with her passion for photography. And she’s been very busy every since. This is one of those stories that shows that with passion, determination and a lot of hard work, you can really make things happen for you!

For the past few years Chris Porsz had wandered tirelessly the streets of Peterborough, England to find familiar faces he photographed nearly 40 years earlier in order to shoot a reunion. Please enjoy my conversation with my good friend Chris about his Reunions project and book.
Chris Porsz is a paramedic by night and a street photographer by day. When he is not exploring other large European cities with his camera, he wanders tirelessly the streets of Peterborough, England in his quest to find familiar faces he photographed 30 years earlier in order to shoot a reunion. For Chris, it’s all about the love for mankind and the desire to record the history of his hometown one photograph at a time. Finally, his project was completed with a series of over 100 reunions and a book recently published.
Please visit his website to see more of Chris’ work and order his Reunions book.
