Right Place Right Time by Yiannis Yiasaris

⏱️ Reading time: 5 min

Being in the right place at the right time in street photography feels like catching lightning in a bottle. It's about that split-second when everything aligns perfectly: the light hits just right, the subjects are in harmony with their surroundings, and the moment unfolds with a story to tell. It's a dance of anticipation and spontaneity, where each step I take on the pavement could lead to a serendipitous encounter or a captivating scene waiting to be captured. Whether it's a fleeting expression or a striking juxtaposition, being present in that precise moment allows me to freeze time and immortalize the beauty of everyday life on the streets.
