"There are many old people in Ukraine who need help. First of all, this concerns normal nutrition. Charitable foundations have set up small houses on the streets of Kyiv, where hot meals are distributed free of charge. Old people stand in line in any weather for a delicious lunch. The atmosphere is positive and friendly."

"Published in ‘escape’, the final chapter in a trilogy of books, ‘rain man’ is both part of a visual journey through the streets of Zagreb and a personal chronicle of life before and during the lockdown. By blurring the lines between reality and poetic interpretation, and working exclusively in black and white, Olga Karlovac's photography takes on a dreamlike quality. Her abstracted images invite the viewer to linger, lose track of time as she leads us down winding streets, recognizing the familiar within the barely there."

"Suddenly there was a very strong wind before the oncoming storm. Various elements on the streets began to fly in the air, people were looking for some shelter so that something would not fall on them, I also ... Suddenly I saw this woman who made an impression that she was in a completely different, peaceful environment, an amazing contrast to the situation where people were rushing, seeking refuge. When I go out into the street with my camera, I have no idea exactly what I want to photograph. A priori I am interested in everything, ordinary scenes, details, light, colors, shapes, and above all, people inspire me. I like being very close to them, I respect everyone, I don't want to attack them, and I discreetly adapt to the existing situation to capture their natural expressions My presence is accepted why I don't know. I like to photograph people in their everyday surroundings, and natural behavior, take candid street photos, and simplify the chaotic mess of life with a sense of beauty to bring out some mystery and order, capturing those moments that make every moment of life beautiful. When I take pictures, I feel that something magical is happening to me and the world around me. I can't explain it.. It seems, that it's a necessity to create.. I'm inspired by these spontaneous meetings that can only take place on the street."

"Two firefighters battle an early morning blaze in downtown Los Angeles."

"Shot in Tokyo, 'Fare Adjustment' captures various facets of its urban environments to describe a state of mind more than the city itself. During this time, I traveled to Japan to mentally escape from the extraordinary personal turmoil that was affecting my life — the passing of my father and the infidelity of my wife. These two events devastated me and made me struggle with the idea of having a safe place to call home. There was an intense need to be someplace where I could forget myself or disappear. Trying to transverse this emotional landscape, I found myself haunting the streets of Tokyo the same way my broken heart felt. This street photography series is a poetic expression of being lost and struggling to find oneself again."

"Las Vegas is a place of amusement and entertainment. The cityscape is deeply artificial, patched together from duplicated fragments of real or unreal places and populated with protagonists from the history or pop culture of the USA and Hollywood. With a lot of luck, we can witness Batman, when he gets off work."

"As seen in the streets of London, in the days following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. As the ancient ritual seemed to work perfectly to reassure the that the world as they knew it had stood the shock, in their eyes - almost like peeping through someone's window, one could see the shiver of the winds of irresistible change."

"Shot in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China."
