Maikel de BakkerStreet photography is often described as “life, unposed.” And that’s exactly what I found on my way home from Spoorpark Tilburg. With my Canon 5DsR and Canon 5D Mark IV in hand, I captured fleeting moments of everyday life—snippets of human stories passing by.
An old man sat quietly on a bench in a designated dog park, but without a dog. I couldn’t help but wonder—was he missing an old friend? Then came a runner, caught mid-stride in the bright sun, his energy frozen in a perfect high moment. Higher up, a man descended the lookout tower, deep in thought, while down on the street, a speeding road sign—ironically announcing “30”—rushed by in the back of a truck doing at least 50.
Street photography is less about technical perfection and more about awareness. It’s about noticing the unnoticed, framing ordinary moments in ways that let them speak. These pictures are not staged; they are honest fragments of life, carrying humor, melancholy, and reflection all at once.
That day, I was fighting through a heavy depression. Getting out wasn’t easy, but I pushed myself. And this is what I love about photography: it reminds me to look outward, even when my mind wants to turn inward. In those small fragments of life, I found stories—and a bit of strength to keep going.
