In this episode of Street Life, we had the pleasure of speaking with Anna Lohmann, a talented street photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. Anna shared her inspiring journey into street photography, which began in 2020 when she moved to London. It was there that she discovered her passion for capturing candid moments on the streets, sparked by a couple of street photography books she stumbled upon in a bookshop.

We discussed Anna's unique approach to photography, which she describes as "high alert meditation." This concept emphasises being fully engaged with her surroundings while also finding peace in the act of shooting. Anna highlighted the importance of mindset in photography, asserting that a positive outlook can significantly influence the quality of one's work.

Throughout our conversation, Anna shared her experiences with street photography, including the cultural differences she has encountered while shooting in Germany compared to other countries. We also touched on the humour present in her work and how storytelling plays a crucial role in her photography.
