The winsome charm of Sam Gregg’s London street photography:
Sam Gregg
Sam has only recently taken up photography full-time. Born and raised in London, he caught our attention last year after quitting his job, travelling to Italy, and later publishing a documentary photography series shot in Naples.-- matter of fact, earnest, with a hint surrealism about it -- told the story of a city that was once considered so glamorous, one could see it and die happy. Now plagued by gang violence, the name -- a quote from Goethe's-- takes on a more ironic meaning.
Perhaps autodidactic photographers are better at this as they’re led more by their senses and intuition, as opposed to classroom learnings. Whether studying photography is worth it or not? I really don’t know. Considering the costs I would veer towards no, but I think it’s totally dependent on your character.In an industry saturated with imagery, how do you keep your ideas new and fresh?
All my personal work is shot on film and commissions are about 50:50 film/digital. I really wish I shot more digital but it just doesn’t give me the same satisfaction. In a world of instant-gratification there’s something very satisfying about the delayed-gratification of film. That fear and simultaneous excitement of the unknown is an irreplaceable sensation.
