This photo series centres around the fleeting interactions between the passersby on either side of the camera. All formal and technical photographic considerations remain secondary. And yet, the project is also an homage to photography itself — to its intimate link with seeing and being seen, and to its capacity to preserve traces of passing moments.

I photograph people as I pass by them on the street — not as a hidden observer, and never by stealing images without awareness. What matters to me are the glances exchanged when I raise the camera openly: moments of curiosity, hesitation, play, or desire. Brief as they are, these recognitions carry a charge — a spark of trust that can turn an ordinary passing into a fleeting sense of relation.

Not everyone wants to be photographed, and I cannot photograph everyone. That, too, is part of the work. I raise the camera only when my gaze is met and a sense of trust is returned. What emerges are images shaped as much by that mutual recognition as by my own presence and how I relate to the people I encounter. They seek moments of coexistence in passing — of seeing and being seen, of desiring and being desired — in a world where we so often feel invisible or insignificant.
