I am a street and documentary photographer who is most interested in black and white street and documentary photography and likes to document ordinary everyday people and scenes. Many people ask about the meaning behind “The Marvels of Daily Life”, the name of her website and Instagram page. It is based on a quote by one of her favourite photographers, Robert Doisneau, which perfectly sums up her philosophy on street photography – “The marvels of daily life are so exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.
