"This image feels to me like an urban opera. The city is a set, and passersby are both protagonists and extras."
"A photograph must attract the eye, perhaps even intrigue or reveal something about the world, with the device being secondary."
Photographer Michel Kharoubi emphasizes the art of capturing urban images, likening them to an 'urban opera,' where the city is a set and passersby perform roles. He describes his approach as not strictly documentary; he waits for the right moments, carefully considers composition, and uses post-production to enhance narratives. Kharoubi believes that the primary focus of photography should be the story and perspective it communicates, regardless of whether a smartphone or professional camera is used, highlighting the subjective nature of viewing the world.
