These photos, of course, are confidential.

The photos below are a collection of some photos I can share.

People and Everyday Life

 

The most important aspects of choosing photographic equipment for ethnography is to combine non-intrusive, understated, small, subtle and simple cameras. After all, you want people to be as natural and comfortable as possible. Therefore, I tend to choose cameras that are more suitable for street photography such as range-finders, journalistic compact cameras that provide manual controls, or small digital SLR cameras – ideally with flat (pancake) lenses.
