curiosity | Un Vaillant Martien

In the Spring of 2022, the Swiss-based photographer Henry Freitag wandered through the streets of Paris, inspired by the work of Garry Winogrand and Joel Meyerowitz.

Many famous photographers have taken on the challenge of prowling through the streets of the French capital. During a longer stay in the metropolis, Henry Freitag took the opportunity to capture fresh perspectives with his Leica M10-P and an Elmarit-M 28 f/2.8 Asph. “The thing that drives me to go out every day is curiosity about the unknown. It’s just about walking through the streets with eyes wide open, so that you can react in the decisive moment,” Freitag explains, speaking of his series.

My photographic journey began as an architecture student, photographing iconic structures. I found myself capturing Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water in the morning stillness, drawn to its lines surrounded by a fresh blanket of newly fallen snow. And, while at Hearst Castle, I sought to photograph the mansions white limestone facade against an intense cobalt blue sky.

Photography for me is about capturing a mood, a feeling. It’s not about showing the viewer something they can already see, but instead about sharing my understanding of the layers, light and shadow, tone, texture and color within nature and architecture.

Aubra Franklin is a photographer based in San Antonio, Texas. His passion for photography began as an architecture student. Throughout his architectural education and career, he had the fortune to travel to many cities throughout the United States photographing iconic and significant cities and buildings. In 2009 he picked up his camera again and quickly realized this would be a rekindled passion that would fill a much-desired healthy creative outlet.
