Project Description

Found While Walking is a photographic exploration of human presence through what is left behind, overlooked, or quietly enduring. Taken on foot using a candid photography approach, this body of work focuses on backstreets, alleyways, and informal spaces where traces of life — objects, markings, arrangements — quietly speak of lived experience.

The act of walking is central to the process. Unscripted and intuitive, it allows for a kind of visual drift where discovery is led by instinct, not destination. Chance and serendipity guide the lens — each corner turned reveals new textures of the everyday: a chair left in the sun, a wall stained with time, a path worn into memory.

Rather than staging or imposing narrative, the project collects fragments that reflect the human condition in absentia. It is as much about what is not seen — the people who have passed through — as what remains. Found While Walking celebrates the poetic in the peripheral, documenting the quiet eloquence of places shaped by interaction, abandonment, and adaptation.
