We are delighted to announce Paul Russell, a renowned In-public street photographer, as our judge for our next street photography competition.

Paul is a photographer based in Weymouth, England, currently shooting in Bath, Brighton, London (and Weymouth).

He’s interested in examining how human behaviour is affected by our environment. Having studied animal behaviour and evolution at university, he thinks of his photography as a pictorial natural history and ecology of humans. We enjoy traditional nature documentaries about other species, and birdwatchers will often spend hours waiting for a small nondescript brown bird to leave its nest, for example, but we rarely stop to examine our own everyday behaviour in such detail. Familiarity can make us forget that human behaviour is often quite peculiar…

We speak to Pau Buscato 1st Runner Up Street Photography Competition

In the last two years I’ve been many times to London with the only purpose of taking pictures. I usually travel there alone and spend all day shooting. Really like the city and the potential it has for doing street photography, so when I saw the competition thought it would be great having a picture exhibited there, so I tried.

Being among the 20 finalists with 2 pictures was already a great reward.

I took that photo on December 2015, on a Sunday. I went out for a walk around the Opera in Oslo and saw that woman sitting alone with her “friend”, so I ran to the roof (it’s all walkable) to get a higher point of view and show the scene better.

I took it with a Sony A7s and a 28mm Voigtlander Color-Skopar f3.5.

Congratulations Pau and you can catch the exhibition at The Bridge Lounge and Dining Room near London Bridge until the 30th May 2016.
