Osama Esid Street Studio-Workers

Street Studio-Workers
The chaotic, frantic streets of Cairo have their own pulsating rhythm whose order and purity can be disrupted by the offensive flash of camera aimed at an unsuspecting passerby. The idea of creating a studio on the street was meant to shed the intrusive quality of portrait photography and to challenge passing workers to regard me as one of them, a mobile businessman, waiting tired with my wood camera and flimsy backdrop. I was accepted and adopted into the current, and every soul that stepped in front of the backdrop and momentarily out of the street in which he blended, embraced his own individuality through the confession of his story in his raw photograph.
