Black and white film photography reflection through glass in winter Helsinki showing a person in a coat walking through the cold and wet pavement surrounded by a texture layered street and architectural environment and shot in a grainy film aesthetic.

Me 🤝🏾 shooting through window glass during winter.
I never plan photos and shots, maybe I should? So far, I am all in with a controlled spray and pray approach.

Black and white night architecture photograph of curved ceiling with illuminated light strips at Oodi Library Helsinki showing lone figure walking underneath dramatic sculptural modern architecture high contrast.

Oodi Library in Helsinki at night. Waited for someone to walk through, needed the scale against that curved ceiling. The light strips look so good at night in person.

Grainy black-and-white shot with a creepy, unsettling vibe: a lone figure walking along a snowy roadside beneath a tall T-shaped pole, swallowed by fog and emptiness.

Wow, thanks a lot Bill! Very high praise, I really appreciate it. 🙏

Black and white photograph looking down a spiral staircase at the Vatican Museums in Rome. The ornate baroque railings curve downward in concentric circles, with visitors scattered throughout the levels creating scale and movement in the composition.

The downward spiral pulls you down in the Bramante Staircase.

Night photograph of an out-of-service tram (displaying ‘SIIRTOAJO FÖRFLYTTNINGSTUR’) driving through fog in Helsinki. Warm orange street lights create halos in the mist, with golden Christmas light decorations visible on both sides of the street. The tram’s headlights illuminate the foggy road ahead.

Hey all! My name is Taha. I am based in Oslo, originally from Morocco. Spent nearly a decade in Finland shooting street and urban scenes, mostly B&W but some nights like this need the color.
