Street in Colour

Street is my go to genre and have used many cameras over the past 5 years for the colour experience. My Instagram handle is @kennikinscoloursofthestreet and underlines my love of colour. Inspired by Sean Tucker, I started with the Ricoh GR3 and then moved on to a number of different Leicas from the Q, Q3, Q3-43, D-Lux 8 not forgetting my time with the M10, M11 and the M EV1. I hope you like the following selection. I was honoured to have the cover photo "Their Dreams" selected to hang in the LFI Online Gallery and published on 1x.com.
