Update!

Picture
BULB, Street Core Photography and PHOS (Street Photography Days) joined forces. BULB (2015), SCP (2014) and PHOS (2018) ​have been founded by Michail and they very much evolved so that a scaling up was needed.
The new structure is run by our team of editors and organisers who ensure the daily management and feature talented photographers, while running at the same time our FB and IG accounts!

Black Lives Matter protests

Picture
images by Tzen Xing, with comments by Kim Toumia
In the darkness whose master of ceremonies is Trump, the survival of humans in this territory that no longer makes the rest of the world dream, light is the symbol of a struggle between the annihilation of this capitalist society and the fight for a humanism which can be will save the United States! At the heart of this necessary chaos, the photographer comes into action, heart and mind in symbiosis!
​
A feeling of dread in this country where carrying a weapon is legal and a symbol of freedom! The right to protest is also a citizen's right, but so dangerous, both in France and in the United States!

Against the propaganda orchestrated by the media including bad musicians who only put forward greed, thirst for power and racism. There is a weapon to counter this flow of stupidity! Counter propaganda using graphics and artistic inspiration! Here is a very good example of which you may also be an actor by framing in a relevant and impactful way!

The police armada brutally evokes the future of the legitimacy of violence in modern societies! They are no longer humans, but robots with an algorithm to define good and evil! To be or not to be an outlaw! No more human gazes but X-rays in the direction of people for an intimate inspection!

Set the Night on Fire
by Tzen Xing

The writing's on the wall
All empires and tyrants will fall
Too many of us have been killed
We don't need another wake-up call
Out in the streets we gave it our all
Justice and humanity are the truths that inspire
Our desire to set the night on fire


​When the moms and dads, and military veterans, doctors, nurses, union workers, teachers, etc. joined the BLM protests, it made it harder for Trump, white supremacists, and all the BLM critics to demonize us all as "violent anarchists." But the police and federal thugs still attacked everyone, including the moms! This is America!

Interview: Marco Giusfredi

Picture
Interview conducted by Michail on Sep. 30, 2016
.I like walking the street observing the world around me. With a camera it becomes a discipline. It sharpens your eye. And if you are concentrated enough you can forget about yourself, which is always good. What I like most in SP is that you cannot control much, maybe you can control nothing at all. Almost all my photos are taken in Paris, the town where I live.

My more significant pictures are those I have still to take. Thanks to Street Core Photography for offering to photographers the chance to share their work in high curated contest.

When I go out just to shoot I often go to the city center ( Saint Paul, Hotel de Ville in particular), where I know I can find good light and human density, I usually shoot with a reflex and a 28 mm then.  Nevertheless I always carry with me a little compact, so I can shoot everywhere really.

A few months ago I started to use film cameras. I do not trust much the immateriality of the digital world, I guess. Doing digital I used to shoot in color turning it into b&w when it basically didn’t work in color.

With films is different, you have to choose before, so now it depends on my mood.

I post process my pictures in Lightroom, I prefer to avoid cropping but I can do it if needed without feeling blasphemous.
