Finding Human Links in the Everyday with @cherkis

To see more photos of London’s street scenes, follow @cherkis on Instagram.

“I’m a storyteller,” street photographer Ali Kate Cherkis (@cherkis) explains. “I like to look for the links and show them — the little knacks and quirks that connect us as humans.” Moving from New York to London to study offered Ali a new stimulus for her work. She looks for scenes on the city’s streets, moving quietly and noticing everything, often asking for permission from subjects after the act. “My friends tell me I look lost or a bit eccentric. It’s really helpful because that’s when people look into my camera,” she says. “They are trying to figure out if I’m taking a photo or just crazy.” Playing off natural light and serendipitous moments, Ali’s work is tied to people and their subtle emotional qualities. “It’s sort of mundane daily things I see,” she says. “It makes the world a little more manageable and feel smaller for a second.”
