Exploring Global Markets: A Street Photography Journey
Today, I’m taking you on a journey through shops and markets from around the world. We begin in 2017 with a shopkeeper standing outside his store in Melaka, Malaysia—a UNESCO World Heritage city I’ve returned to photograph many times.
From there, we head to London Road in Liverpool, a fantastic spot for street photography, full of character and fascinating people.
Next, we dive into the energy of a lively night market in Melaka from 2018, followed by a glimpse of a stallholder in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2019. We then step back in time to 2004, exploring market stalls in Paris and an old shop in Marrakech.
Finally, we wrap up in 2019 with the vibrant shopping scene on Roman Road in East London—another of my favourite street photography haunts.
It’s all about capturing those rich cultural moments and the spirit of everyday commerce at street level.
