For the past decade, Zurich-based street and documentary photographer Jens Krauer has journeyed through some of the world's most exhilarating metropolises, immortalizing the everyday life that unfolds on the streets. This mission is brilliantly encapsulated in his debut book, In Plain Sight. Candid Urban Encounters. Krauer has wandered through cities like Amsterdam, New York, and Paris on foot for hours and months, armed only with his camera and his preferred lens, to document the lives of those often overlooked by society. He turns his lens to the individuals who blend into the urban landscape, capturing 'decisive moments.' Tirelessly, empathetically, and openly, he portrays a full spectrum of emotions - depicting moments that are sad, intimate, life-changing, and humorously poignant. His authentic, unfiltered black-and-white photographs focus particularly on the spontaneous moments that get lost in the clamour of bustling city streets.
