'Street photography is all about observing people, their actions and juxtapositions. Keep your eyes open, look for interesting connections. You’re more likely to get a memorable photograph when you’re part of the scene and reacting to the emotions and drama that is being acted out around you' Rui Pahla.
Look familiar? This decisive moment (top right), taken on a rainy day in Lisbon was captured just a few years ago by the Portuguese photographer Rui Pahla. Undoubtedly influenced by one of the first street photographers, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Palha's quick and intuitive eye has captured many incredible moments, testament that the art of black and white street photography is still alive and well. He recently published his first book, 'Fotografia de Rua', (Photographs of the Street) which contains beautiful images of his native city, Lisboa, and all it's interesting characters.
