Strangers in a Frame
The Photography of Jon Rendell

More often than not I am inclined to take images devoid of people, but as Ansel Adams reminds us, "There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer."

I'd like to take a moment in this series to showcase the strangers that did manage to squeeze themselves into my frame.

One of my earlier photographs from 1977 — Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park, London
 

Unknown Soldier, Piraeus Train Station, Greece — 1998

Documenting the delivery of my first café au lait at Les Deux Magot, Paris — 1978

I had been photographing the two youths minding their girlfriend's bags when, all of a sudden, my scene took a dramatic turn — 2011

Schoolgirls, Cairo, Egypt — 1984

Pure Joy, Atlanta, GA — 2000
