Darran K Roper: "The Thrill Of Finding Moments"

Photography forces a response in me. I feel I can be indifferent to a lot of art, because it either holds little relevance to me or has a creative distance from reality.
— Darran K Roper

For Darran K Roper photography means a creative interaction with his surroundings. He believes: When you are seeing through your desire to create something, everything holds a little more interest. This ability gets lost over time, says Darran, and photography is a means of reawakening it.

Darran goes on and explains: „The task of finding statements separated from the everyday, is the single goal of street photography. A side effect of street photography is, you begin to see the marvel of the everyday, no moment or place can be discounted. Your mind and senses harmonize to show you where moments may reside, where the light may be favorable and how a situation may change. When I am on a walk, I am free, there is nothing, except this search for a statement that I may, or may not find.“

In this interview, Darran explains what street photography means to him and he talks about his moments of doubts regarding the quality of his own work. This is something most photographers are likely to experience at some point. It’s the moment when it’s time to step up and take your craft to the next level. Darran also talks about that and shares how he pushed himself to grow as an image maker.

I find it very curious that we can be drawn into a good photograph, but yet if the frame of the photographer’s eye were taken away, the vision would be lost in the noise of the surrounding elements of the scene. That is what fascinates me about photography.

Hallo, ich bin Kai. Fotografie bedeutet für mich erleben. Es geht nicht nur um das Einfrieren eines Moments, sondern darum, ihn zunächst aktiv zu spüren. Und zwar mit allen Sinnen. Erst dann kommt die Kamera ins Spiel.
