BETWEEN RED LIGHTS.

Somewhere between the waiting and the moving, life reveals itself.

I was waiting at a traffic signal when I noticed them. Workers in the back of trucks, surrounded by metal, glass and the restless lights of the city.

Two different signals. Two fleeting encounters. Moments of everyday life that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Through my lens, these became fragments of urban life — candid street photography in black and white, documenting the people and ordinary moments that exist within the city's constant movement.

No staged scenes. No predetermined stories. Just the quiet act of noticing.

Because sometimes, the most meaningful photographs aren't found by searching for a story. They're made by paying attention.

What do you notice first — the person or the world around them?
