The Guardian: Playful German street photography – in pictures

“Street photography is all about accidents” says Max Slobodda, a photographer from Germany whose Merge series captures people, and occasionally animals, appearing to melt into their surroundings. Taken around the Ruhr Valley, Düsseldorf and Cologne over the past two years, the photographs are part of an ongoing project in which, Slobodda says, each image “unites humans with their environment”. While some of them were planned, Slobodda emphasises the spontaneous nature of his photography. “Lots of my best were taken when I was already on my way somewhere with just a couple of minutes to spare to catch my bus or train.”
