I'm a Street Photographer Too

‘Reflecting’, Naturally Undone, Abigail Ekue Photography, 2018

I'm pleased to announce that for the first time, I am one of 51 photographers from 18 countries that are a part of the Women Street Photographers latest Virtual Exhibit. The exhibit is curated by Women Street Photographer founder Gulnara Samoilova and Guest Juror Kiran Karnani.

I am a photographer of people and sometimes that overlaps with street photography. The image that was selected for this exhibit, titled "Reflecting" was created as part of my Naturally Undone series (for an exhibit that never happened when the curator/organizer ghosted).

"What I saw when I took this photo is the familiar far-away gaze many NY commuters are sometimes lucky to have; for a few moments we can forget the day or replay moments. This wasn't a moment of being in a rush to get anywhere. The bright colors of the woman's hair and shirt and the repeating elements in her reflection are what drew me to this moment."

Happy that this work still has life! The Virtual Exhibit is up from December 10, 2023 to February 4, 2024.
