While walking through the streets of Amsterdam, Bratislava, and Cologne, I was always looking to capture moments, but it was the quiet subjects, the ones marked by solitude, that truly drew me in.
These photographs are part of my street photography from recent travels. Looking back at them, I realized that one theme kept resurfacing: loneliness, not as despair, but as presence, reflection, and sometimes, peace.
