Armed only with passion, instinct, and the compact Olympus Olympus E-M1 he constantly chases a new prey. On his own, wandering the city, the time is something that does not exist. The street photographer feeds characteristic heads. Young, old, male, female, energetic, lazy, staring or focused. The stage lured into a trap. The image different every second, knowing what is happening, hoping for action or simply being there, innocently, not posed, the beautiful human. Strike while the iron is hot and CLICK!

 

Surrounded by millions of fellow photographers, the advent of the smartphone made sure I've

picked up photography again. Especially the limitless creativity that I can put into photography,

works for like a magnet. I have concentrated me on street photography: making portraits, look for

unnameble expressions, to be there quickly, the city of today as if capturing the image in time.

treet photography is to be active, you're always on the lookout for images with a wink, usually black and white or if colour it should really add anything. Natural light, nothing reworked, sometimes only some cropping. I confess: it gives me a kick to capture people.

I am Peter, street photographer from Amsterdam.

I am Mokum Graaf.

 

Over Pieter, MokumGraaf.

Gewapend met slechts passie, instinct, en de compacte Sony a6000 jaagt hij voortdurend op een nieuwe prooi. In z'n eentje, zwervend door de stad, de tijd als iets dat niet bestaat. De straatfotograaf voedt zich met karakteristieke koppen. Jong, oud, man, vrouw, energiek, lui, starend of gefocust. Het toneel gelokt in een val. Het beeld elke seconde anders, weten wat er gebeurt, hopen op actie of alleen maar zijn, nietsvermoedend, niet geposeerd, de mooie mens. Toehappen en KLICK!

Pieter is a great candid photographer. He really has a talent for capturing people at their best, especially when they are not expecting to be photographed. Judging by the reaction from his subjects, they don't seem to mind being photographed and are even flattered by the gesture. That is the sign of a good photographe… Read more

Pieter is a great candid photographer. He really has a talent for capturing people at their best, especially when they are not expecting to be photographed. Judging by the reaction from his subjects, they don't seem to mind being photographed and are even flattered by the gesture. That is the sign of a good photographer and person. Bravo!
