About Giacomo Mason

I am a street photographer based in London. My father, and avid photographer himself in his youth, gave me a Canon DSLR as a present for Christmas 2007. I dabbled with it for a while, but my passion only blossomed when I later moved to London - a frenetic melting pot where every corner holds the promise of a great photograph. At first I just naively ventured out with a camera a few afternoons, but I was way too insecure to shoot people directly. In the past couple of years, I've become accustomed to the crowds, and thrive in situations full of visual stimuli where I can practice the dark art of street photography. Since 2020, I started picking up film and fell in love with medium format. I have learned to print my work in the darkroom, which is now an essential part of how I approach the medium.
