Exhibition by Trevor Marczylo, an amazing Winnipeg street photographer.

First off, Hi. I’m Trevor Marczylo a street photographer
eating, living, and surviving in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
I am full-time photographer, I make my living
selling prints that I take on a daily basis.
My work tends to focus on documentary style street
Photography or the simple daily patterns of how
people go with their daily routines or like some like
to say “The Human Condition.”
I’ve been shooting film for the past 15 years or so,
also hand develop and print my own work but I’m
not going to lie, I do a lot of digital these days too. I’ll
leave that to you to decided which is film and which
isn’t.
I am constantly shooting and sometimes a roll of
film might take me a week or two to finish where as
other days I may go though a few rolls of film in a
day. I never give it much thought on what I do, I just
have a strong passion for capturing emotion and
documenting a moment to tell a story. I don’t start
my day out to try and produce art I just leave my
house with my camera in my hand and simply document
as I see.
In all honesty, I really don’t know what to say. Its just
easier for me to explain myself with my photos. with
that being said I’ll leave that to the people reading
this and viewing the images.

Exhibition runs to Dec 10, 2011.
