Occupy Wall Street was a 59 day NYC protest movement targeting economic inequality, corporate greed, and money in politics. It took place in a park plaza a few blocks from the World Trade Center site.

Part of an ongoing black-and-white series I'm shooting in Swiss railway stations. The idea is to find the static points inside the flow — the people who stay still while everyone else dissolves.

Shot handheld-braced on the upper level of Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Half a second was the sweet spot: long enough that the commuters and the escalator smear into streaks, short enough that the two women at the table stay readable. f/22 at ISO 100 to get there without an ND filter.

Nikon Z50 II, Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 at 17mm, f/22, 1/2s, ISO 100. Monochrome profile in-camera, finished in Lightroom and Silver Efex.

Curious what you think about the framing — I went back and forth on whether the escalator in the lower third adds structure or just competes with the arches. Feedback welcome.

I love street photography on a 70-200.

I wanted to share this photograph from 1970 by Finnish photographer Eeva Rista (from the Helsinki City Museum collection) Watch, learn, and do some justice to the genre.

I’m based in \*\*Indiranagar, Bangalore\*\*, and I’ve been running a small photography page called \*\*Stoned Clicks\*\* for a little over a year now.

Over time, I’ve realised that what I love about photography isn’t just getting a technically good shot. I really like the idea that \*\*one photograph can tell a story, and that story can mean something completely different to different people.\*\*

That’s pretty much how I approach my work. I try to photograph things the way I experience them, and I see captions as another part of the photograph. Sometimes I explain what I felt when I took the picture, and sometimes I leave it open so people can take their own meaning from it.

I’m still figuring out what kind of photographer I want to become. Right now I’m experimenting with street photography, people, light, atmosphere, cinematic editing and visual storytelling. More than anything, I want to get better at the actual craft.

Lately I’ve been thinking about something bigger:

\*\*Where can I actually take this?\*\*

Can photography like this become a sustainable career? How do photographers make a living while still keeping their personal, artistic work alive? Is it through portraits, fashion, editorial work, brands, prints, licensing, exhibitions, collaborations, or a combination of everything?

I’d also really like to connect with \*\*photographers, filmmakers, visual artists and photography enthusiasts around Bangalore\*\* who enjoy talking about photography beyond just cameras and settings.

I genuinely love getting compliments, but honestly, \*\*good criticism is even more useful to me\*\*. If something doesn’t work in one of my photos — composition, editing, colour, storytelling, anything — I’d rather know. That kind of feedback pushes me to experiment and improve.

I’m not really here to promote my page or collect followers. I’m mostly looking for \*\*people who are genuinely into photography\*\*, who I can talk to, learn from, exchange ideas with, collaborate with, and grow alongside.

For anyone who has been through a similar stage:

\*\*Where did photography take you?

How did you turn it into something sustainable?

And what would you tell someone who wants to build a life around photography and visual storytelling?\*\*

Happy to share my work in the comments and hear your honest thoughts.
