It is obvious Siegfried Hansen has a very good sense of humor and a very good understanding of how the Street and people interact. It's as if he almost directs the people to the points of the Street he wants so he can make the perfect picture. Most people would never even see some of these things take place . Never mind have time to get their Camera out and be ready to press the magic button.
'real life is always full of surprises. So you have to be prepared for this kind of moment'
Is something Siegfried once said. I'd definitely agree with this quote. There's no right or wrong time to take your Camera out with you. The problem is, the time you don't take it with you is the time you see the things you want to make into a photograph.
Since 2002, which was when Hansen picked a Camera up as an amateur Photographer. He's been interested in Street Photography.
Previously working in Graphic Design. His understanding of making pictures was already there and ready to be fine-tuned.
You can almost see the connection between the two in some of his work. The image to the left, were he's used a vinyl sticker, on a Window. It looks like two photos used as a composite.
A good understanding of these techniques combined, give him an instant advantage over other Photographers.
