Valérie Jardin
Born in France, Valérie Jardin is currently based in Minneapolis.
She teaches workshops all over the world, runs the hugely popular podcast „Hit The Streets“ and is the author of several books. Her latest one is called „Street Photography: Creative Vision Behind The Lens“.
In this conversation, we focus on the creative process in image taking.
Assuming that street photography doesn’t require any special equipment, Valérie shares her techniques of capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Rinzi Ruiz
In this interview street photographer Rinzi Ruiz talks about photography as a meditative exercise. He calls it „street zen“. Rinzi says: „Photography can change our minds, our emotions and many other things.“
When he found himself in a creative slump and stressed out working as an art director, street photography helped Rinzi to re-connect with the artist inside of him.
He says: „I felt that I had lost of part of myself, going up as a creative person. Basically, I was losing myself to the corporate life. I needed to find something to bring back my creativity.“
Dimitris Makrygiannakis
In this interview Greek photographer Dimitris Makrygiannakis tells how a broken leg and a trip to India fueled his passion for taking pictures and shaped his artistic vision.
Until photography became a cornerstone of his life, Dimitris used his camera on his travels to make the normal touristic shots.
These days, taking pictures has a different meaning for him. He says: „Sometime in 2010 and after a series of events I discovered artistic photography. I got totally hooked and since then photography is a part of my life everyday.”
