“‘Street View’ is a project by Andreas Kamoutsis that deals exclusively with the events taking place out there on the streets. Its routes vary, fromย lively urban channels inย big cities toย deserted walks somewhere in the countryside.ย It includes images with shadows, figures, movement, lines; special moments in time, infinite possibilities to show off the magic created byย the instant and – unexpected, in a way – artย of Street Photography.ย A creative process that is indeed difficult to be determined, but manages to transform the insignificant to fine, which can surprise you in every moment, just when the thin visionary line joins issue with the viewer, and reveals infinite unseen aspects of realityโฆ
A prerequisite to the successful completion of the ‘Street View’ project, was practicing and always increasing my ability to photograph through tryingย –ย whether it was possible or according to the circumstancesย – to remainย unnoticed byย others, henceย recording and capturing the human reality around me, as an ‘invisible’ creator. Moving in such a wayย that, byย maintaining a low profile and discreetness, to be able to accuratelyย ‘read’ the variations of light and the beautifully perpetual movement of all those people around me. It is therefore obvious that all my photos are eminently spontaneous and not staged (but nevertheless carefully studied inย planning and final production) and stem from a series of shots takenย in the ‘everyday’ streets of Copenhagen and Athens, during the last two years…”
