About Adam
Amateur photographer capturing authentic moments through film and digital
The Story Behind the Lens
I'm Adam Disatnik, an amateur photographer with a deep passion for capturing the authentic moments that define our human experience. My journey with photography began as a way to document the world around me, but it has evolved into something much more profound—a means of storytelling through light, shadow, and emotion.
Working with both film and digital cameras, I find myself drawn to the unique qualities each medium offers. Film photography teaches patience and intentionality; every frame matters when you have only 36 shots on a roll. Digital photography, on the other hand, allows for spontaneity and experimentation, perfect for capturing those fleeting street moments that disappear in an instant.
My work primarily focuses on three areas that fascinate me: street portraits that reveal the character and stories of strangers, street photography that captures the rhythm and energy of urban life, and landscapes that showcase the quiet beauty of our natural world.
Each photograph is an opportunity to freeze a moment in time, to preserve something that might otherwise be forgotten. Whether it's the weathered hands of an elderly street musician, the golden light filtering through city buildings at sunset, or the vast expanse of an untouched landscape, I'm constantly seeking those moments that speak to our shared humanity.
My Approach
Photography is about connection—with people, places, and moments that matter
Street Portraits
Every face tells a story. I approach street portraiture with respect and curiosity, seeking to capture the authentic character and emotion of the people I meet.
Street Photography
The city is alive with stories waiting to be told. I document the energy, rhythm, and unexpected beauty found in everyday urban life.
Landscapes
Nature provides moments of profound peace and beauty. I seek to capture landscapes that remind us of our connection to the natural world.
