This black & white photography compilation infuses life into street scenes, capturing the essence of cafes, restaurants, and bars. Through a fusion of images and words, the series weaves a narrative that delves into the dual perspectives of those savouring these spaces and those toiling behind the scenes.

Inspired by Robert Frank, who redefined the portrayal of American culture with a contemporary and carefree approach, I incorporate Walker Evans's emphasis on combining words and pictures to craft a compelling narrative. Additionally, I channel Eugène Atget's determination to document Parisian streets scenes before their transformation through modernisation.
