Fabian Schreyer

Fabian Schreyer is a freelance pr-agent, journalist and photographer based in Augsburg/Germany. He is co-founder of The Street Collective, an international group of street photographers, and curator of various cross-national street photography projects. Roaming with the camera through the streets turned out to be the best way to raise his awareness for the hidden secrets of everyday life. What he occasionally brings home from his urban explorations are split seconds of the lives of perfect strangers that unveil his fascination for the poetry underlying the mundane. The outcome is a visual diary, a collection of (extra)ordinary candid moments, of personal memories, places he’s been to and things he’s seen.

Membership

Co-founder of The Street Collective, an international group of photographers established in 2013. All nine current members are coming from different home countries and share a longtime interest in documenting their individual environment from a personal perspective. They are united in their enthusiasm to give significance to seemingly insignificant, elusive moments of everyday life. The collective’s aim is not only to have a constant exchange about photography and to realize and showcase collective work, but also to offer other photographers a platform to contribute to public projects.
