Does a Street Photo Have to Have a Message Behind It?

At some point, it can be something that can be simply based on the visual, on the play with colors, on the geometry, and just have it basically be let's call it a work of art and doesn't have to have a story behind it. And I'm curious to know how you feel about that. I don't think there's any right or wrong answer here, because the way we interpret photography is incredibly subjective

I know that you mentioned your street photography, and this is based around street photography, so I feel like narrative work would be super imperative and almost a given due to the nature of characters and people living in the city. People living in the city can tell a story just by being right. It's easier to capture the story. You can sell an image if the actor or subject is corresponding with the environment

I'm in the middle of a project. I can't talk for long, but I felt compelled to reach out and say thank you. And, yes, if you can get more people involved in the conversation and welcome them to Swell, that would be absolutely phenomenal. I would really be appreciative of that. And also, don't forget, if you're into podcasts, I have a podcast called Inside Street Photography. You can find that wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts

I think sometimes, like you say, it's good to just capture something, whether that be in color, black and white. A great deal of it too, I believe is archival that I think greatly needs to be explored more and more. Because now that we have what I consider a very disposable culture for photography, because we have instagram where a lot. Great deal of these photos that we take
