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.
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.
