title
Subway travel companions
The series of photographs was taken from November 2017 to today, in the Paris metro.
A finalist place in the SPI (Street Photography International) Awards in 2018 encouraged him to continue and deepen his work. Several other awards will be awarded (ND Awards, The Independent Photographer, Urban Photo Awards 2018, Xposure ...) and many of his photographs exhibited or published.
Today, Sébastien Durand regularly works on the street or in the subway, seeking in the middle of the crowd and the urban environment what the street says about us and our society. He develops two themes, one in black and white devoted to life in the Paris metro and a second in color offering a more ironic or amused vision.
