Erwin Rademaker (1966, The Netherlands) lives in Breda with his wife, Marloes, and is the father of three sons. He works at the Port of Rotterdam as an infrastructure developer and is founder and co-owner of two companies. He has also written and (co-)published several books. “I have never experienced something more addictive than street photography. Capturing the ordinary life on streets is what I love to do the most, no matter where, no matter when. I always take my gear with me when I have to travel, whether it’s for work, short breaks or vacation.” Erwin developed the concept for this book and asked Anders, Greg, Louise and Umberto to join him in this project. Erwin is a new kid on the block; he just started to photograph street scenes in 2010.
Greg Schmigel (1969, United States of America) lives in Arnold, Maryland, with his wife, Suzy, and their two boxers, Brooklyn and Arthur. Considered one of the early pioneers in the movement of mobile photography, Greg uses an iPhone as his main camera of choice to take quick, candid shots of everyday moments - the lives of people and strangers that he encounters on the street or in public places. Greg’s work finds beauty in the simple aspects of life, in the faces of strangers, the shadows or reflections of everyday people, or even in the smile on the face of a passing child. He believes that 90 percent of photography is about what the photographer sees. The choice of camera makes up the rest. “I am not an iPhoneographer. I am a street photographer who uses the iPhone as the camera of choice.”
Louise Fryer (1963, United Kingdom) lives in south east England with her partner and two of her three children. “I first got into photography in May 2009. After spending some time experimenting in various areas, I found that the subject that interested me the most was street photography. Since January 2011, I have been seriously concentrating on this area. For me, what makes street photography different is that each photo is so unique - life and people are constantly changing. I have always been more interested in photographing the people in the streets, and lately, I am drawn more to street portraiture. I try to capture sensitivity and feeling in my photographs. My inspiration comes from the people I see, my own empathy and feelings toward them. I feel a connection with some of the people I photograph due to my work and my life experiences.” Umberto Verdoliva (1961, Italy) was born in Castellammare di Stabia (Naples) and currently lives in Treviso. He has a degree in urban planning and works with a large international construction company. Photography is Umberto’s passion, his way of expressing his love for humanity by capturing the very simple moments of life. He has won numerous competitions and awards in photography. His major works are “Cities of Mind” (from which photographs that appear in this book were taken), in which light and shadows are the elements that highlight the people; “Prisoner Of Privacy;” “The Privacy Act;” and his the latest work, “Bi, Double, Twin,” a visual quest for double-mirror elements and situations in the street. Umberto’s outstanding personal style earned him an invitation to become a member of www.street-photographers.com, an international portal featuring some of the best examples of contemporary street photography.
Street Photography 2011 by Anders Rörgren - Erwin Rademaker - Greg Schmigel - Louise Fryer - Umberto Verdoliva
Anders Rörgren (1972, Sweden) lives in Malmö with his wife, Tina, and is the father of one son and one daughter. Anders works as an eCommerce Business Development Manager. “It started a couple of years ago when I began to travel a lot in my work. More and more, I would use my spare time in the evenings and during travel for street photography. I really like this way of shooting because it truly captures the moment. What you see is what you get, and it’s not possible to change or alter the elements you have in front of you. When I look for subjects for my pictures, I usually look for interesting persons and characters, be it because of their beauty, ugliness, attitude, style, etc. When it comes to capturing situations, I prefer a clean composition with few elements, often supported by the rule of thirds and the golden proportion - even though a centered picture comes along every now and then.” Anders has been photographing since 1987.

Erwin Rademaker (1966, The Netherlands) lives in Breda with his wife, Marloes, and is the father of three sons. He works at the Port of Rotterdam as an infrastructure developer and is founder and co-owner of two companies. He has also written and (co-)published several books. “I have never experienced something more addictive than street photography. Capturing the ordinary life on streets is what I love to do the most, no matter where, no matter when. I always take my gear with me when I have to travel, whether it’s for work, short breaks or vacation.” Erwin developed the concept for this book and asked Anders, Greg, Louise and Umberto to join him in this project. Erwin is a new kid on the block; he just started to photograph street scenes in 2010.
Greg Schmigel (1969, United States of America) lives in Arnold, Maryland, with his wife, Suzy, and their two boxers, Brooklyn and Arthur. Considered one of the early pioneers in the movement of mobile photography, Greg uses an iPhone as his main camera of choice to take quick, candid shots of everyday moments - the lives of people and strangers that he encounters on the street or in public places. Greg’s work finds beauty in the simple aspects of life, in the faces of strangers, the shadows or reflections of everyday people, or even in the smile on the face of a passing child. He believes that 90 percent of photography is about what the photographer sees. The choice of camera makes up the rest. “I am not an iPhoneographer. I am a street photographer who uses the iPhone as the camera of choice.”
Louise Fryer (1963, United Kingdom) lives in south east England with her partner and two of her three children. “I first got into photography in May 2009. After spending some time experimenting in various areas, I found that the subject that interested me the most was street photography. Since January 2011, I have been seriously concentrating on this area. For me, what makes street photography different is that each photo is so unique - life and people are constantly changing. I have always been more interested in photographing the people in the streets, and lately, I am drawn more to street portraiture. I try to capture sensitivity and feeling in my photographs. My inspiration comes from the people I see, my own empathy and feelings toward them. I feel a connection with some of the people I photograph due to my work and my life experiences.” Umberto Verdoliva (1961, Italy) was born in Castellammare di Stabia (Naples) and currently lives in Treviso. He has a degree in urban planning and works with a large international construction company. Photography is Umberto’s passion, his way of expressing his love for humanity by capturing the very simple moments of life. He has won numerous competitions and awards in photography. His major works are “Cities of Mind” (from which photographs that appear in this book were taken), in which light and shadows are the elements that highlight the people; “Prisoner Of Privacy;” “The Privacy Act;” and his the latest work, “Bi, Double, Twin,” a visual quest for double-mirror elements and situations in the street. Umberto’s outstanding personal style earned him an invitation to become a member of www.street-photographers.com, an international portal featuring some of the best examples of contemporary street photography.
Street Photography 2011 by Anders Rörgren - Erwin Rademaker - Greg Schmigel - Louise Fryer - Umberto Verdoliva
Anders Rörgren (1972, Sweden) lives in Malmö with his wife, Tina, and is the father of one son and one daughter. Anders works as an eCommerce Business Development Manager. “It started a couple of years ago when I began to travel a lot in my work. More and more, I would use my spare time in the evenings and during travel for street photography. I really like this way of shooting because it truly captures the moment. What you see is what you get, and it’s not possible to change or alter the elements you have in front of you. When I look for subjects for my pictures, I usually look for interesting persons and characters, be it because of their beauty, ugliness, attitude, style, etc. When it comes to capturing situations, I prefer a clean composition with few elements, often supported by the rule of thirds and the golden proportion - even though a centered picture comes along every now and then.” Anders has been photographing since 1987.
