The exhibit is curated by Women Street Photographer founder Gulnara Samoilova and Guest Juror Kiran Karnani. The virtual exhibit is up from December 10, 2023 to February 4, 2024.
I am a photographer of people and sometimes that overlaps with street photography. I'm pleased to announce that for the first time, my work is part of a street photography exhibit.
The featured image, "Reflecting", was created as part of my Naturally Undone series (for an exhibit that never happened when the curator/organizer ghosted). Happy that this work still has life and will now be seen by a worldwide audience.
"What I saw when I took this photo is the familiar far-away gaze many NY commuters are sometimes lucky to have; for a few moments we can forget the day or replay moments. This wasn't a moment of being in a rush to get anywhere. The bright colors of the woman's hair and shirt and the repeating elements in her reflection are what drew me to this moment."
