After several years as a mainstream hobby photographer with focus on holiday, family and leisure, Jan Bisbjerg took a quantum leap and became a street photographer in 2010.

Throughout most of his life, Jan has worked with human interaction, communication and dissemination. He has worked most recently with proliferating IT knowledge from the academic world to the vibrant business community.

So Jan feels entirely at home with both photographic technologies and inter-personal communication.

Jan thrives in crowds and in public spaces, where he uses varied and situation-adapted photo gear to mirror and interpret the fascinating events of everyday life.

In particular Jan sees the challenge in the paradox inherent to street photography:

On the one hand, everything is so simple. Grab your camera, leave the house, start shooting

And, on the other hand, really good street photography demands so much in terms of personal and technical skills.

As a man who is relatively new to street photography, Jan is very conscious that he still has much to learn. But, as he sees dialogue and the exchange of experiences as essential to wisdom, he has chosen to put forward his preliminary photos, thoughts and findings for discussion and inspiration :-)
