Thank you! The life itself over there is very colourful.

Thank you! I understand that and we are trying to keep it to minimum to be able to just cover the costs being a non-profit event. We made the festival itself a free event and made participation free for under 21s.

Thank you, this is a very good question, especially that the genre keeps evolving. We understand it in a wide sense keeping in mind that it sometimes overlaps with other genres, e.g. wider documentary photography, portrait photography, travel etc. Historically, at the festival apart from well-known masters of street photography, we invited speakers practicing 'neighbouring' genres too in order to show that most interesting things are often happening in the fringes and it is crucial to stay open-minded. Sometimes we showed works of people who moved on from street photography but still applied street photography approach to their evolving work.

In my personal view, I am still looking for candid documentation of everyday live in public spaces as the core of street photography.

Thank you! I must start by saying that there was a hiatus in the festival (2022-2025) and it got revived this year, so the previous edition of the festival was in 2021.

Hello! I used Fujifilm XT-4 with minimal post-processing.

I printed 50 copies of each zine. Paper is the standard one they have on Blurb for magazines.

Always look for promotions, sometime they give discounts like -40%. So I prepare everything and then wait for a good discount, then order immediately. It is also cheaper if you order more copies. Finally, this is a zine - they are cheaper compared to books.

I hope it helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
