This topic is about the photo you did not take. If you haven’t seen the first two episode, read the story of Oliver Parish or Rikard Landberg.

I’ve asked the Amsterdam based street photographer Dennis Sewberath Misser about his photos, taken and untaken.

Here we go.

Which photo was untaken and why did you not take it?


When you do street photography you can get very close to people when you offer help. I saw these two ladies struggling to put down a red carpet during a little windstorm.
