Urban Daily Life

Welcome to Urban Daily Life!

Urban Daily Life is a catalogue of images I systematically photographed in different places around the world. I have organized these in different categories like architecture, city elements, domestic details, materials, street culture and street elements. If you enter a category you will find sub categories like benches, statues, trees. You will find the collection on that topic captured in different cities, like housing. If you want to see the complete index on all the topics you can go to Abc of the city.

More: You can read more about streetology in an interview and more about my method in the introduction of my book China Daily Life. You can take a look at the exhibitions I participated in, look at other project or contact me for different kinds of new work.

Urban Typology is an ongoing project so make sure you come back! If you don’t know where to start, see how shopowners let their clients know they are gone for prayers, take a look at the different local styles of houses, or see how you can recognize prostitution in greece...

Enjoy!
