Into the Street with....

 DMITRY STEPANENKO

I became fascinated by photography in 2009 when I moved to the UK from Ukraine to do my master’s degree. At that time, I wanted to document the world around me, as it was so different from my previous surroundings. I took photos of everything: architecture, landscapes, and my fellow students. Gradually I realised that I was mostly interested in the people around me, and it was soon afterwards that I looked at Cartier-Bresson’s photographs for the first time. This led to a decision to move to street photography. 

Even though in the first couple of years I was mostly shooting in black and white, one of the very first photos I took during that time was rather colourful.

London, 2010

But I was captivated by classic black and white photography, and that determined my style in the early years (see some examples below from London, 2011).

Later, I continued to combine black and white with colour photography until 2013, when I completely changed my style and switched to colour. But that is another story.

You can see my work in various places:
