Despite the initial challenges of navigating the city of Liverpool and its nuances, I have embraced the process of familiarizing myself with the play of sunlight on the streets at different times of the day. Just like in my earlier experiences in Cambridge and London, understanding the rhythm of a city takes time and dedication. But the journey is what excites me the most - the prospect of discovering hidden gems and capturing unique moments through my lens.
In my quest to find the perfect shot, I have embarked on various projects across different locations. From coastal towns to bustling cities like Manchester, each place offers its own set of opportunities and challenges. While the noise and crowds of Manchester may not be my preference, I have learned to appreciate the quieter corners that hold their own charm.
Dealing with anxiety and panic attacks on crowded public transport has been a struggle, but having the freedom of a car has allowed me to explore the peaceful outskirts of Liverpool with my wife by my side. Together, we wander through rural villages, finding inspiration in the simplicity and beauty of everyday life.
As I navigate the streets with my camera, I've adapted my approach to street photography. Embracing a more cinematic mindset, I now view the world as a documentary in motion. This shift in perspective has not only helped me cope with the sensory overload but has also reignited my passion for street photography in a way that resonates with my personal journey.
I wear my AirPods to drown out the noise of the city, I have found solace in the art of visual storytelling. Treating each moment as a scene in a movie, I immerse myself in the narrative of the streets, capturing moments that speak volumes without uttering a word. This transformation has not only allowed me to continue pursuing my passion but has also given me a new lens through which to see the world around me.
In this ongoing adventure of discovery and creativity, I look forward to the endless possibilities that Liverpool and its surroundings have to offer. With each click of the shutter, I unearth a piece of the narrative that defines my journey as a street photographer in this vibrant and dynamic city.
