33 Street Photography Photos from Tunis, Tunisia
After Cairo, came major city #61 Tunis, Tunisia on the Major City project. I’ll be discontinuing this 33 photos series on the blog soon, but I’ll explain why along with exciting details on some new things I have planned in an upcoming post. For now, though, I’ll share a last few additions of this long-time series here on Shooter Files.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Tunis…
7 First Impressions of Tunis, Tunisia (From a Street Photography Perspective)
Tunis, Tunisia came in as major city #61 on my Major City project and here I’ll share a few first impressions covering the city with my camera. Tunisia is famous for being a Star Wars’ film location, but its capital, Tunis, isn’t on the radar for travel as much as it deserves. Here, you’ll find a mix of influences and atmosphere that you can’t find many other places, especially for the price. There’s the picturesque mediterannean coast with white and blue houses reminicent of the greek islands. In the center you get a completely different vibe filled with old character, chaos and one of the best medinas around. A mix of Maghrebi, French/European, and African influences can be felt and seen all over. Tunis also happens to have a well-deserved reputation for being the most open city in the region, providing a vibe that stands out if you’ve traveled in North Africa before. Coming from its past dictatorshiop, there’s a laid-back feeling that blends well with the mix of influences to make an enjoyable city for street photography that isn’t on most people’s lists.
So here are my first impressions of Tunis, from my personal Street Photographer perspective…

7 First Impressions of Cairo, Egypt (From a Street Photography Perspective)
Cairo, Egypt came in as major city #60 on my Major City project and here I’ll share a few first impressions covering the city with my camera. Cairo had been on my project list since the start. It doesn’t get much bigger and historic than this ancient city turned chaotic metropolis. At 22 million people, this urban sprawl next to the famous pyramids is filled with activity and variety of life around every corner. While its sheer size and buzzing streets might not be everyone’s cup of tea, I quickly fell for Cairo’s one of a kind atmosphere. Personally, I do like big cities because of the variety of life and interest there is to explore, but it needs to set itself apart from the rest. And Cairo definitely does that. The history, the crumbling character, the chaos, the unique neighborhoods and the signature golden brown look all come together to make one of my favorite cities of the year for street photography. Yes, it’s not the cleanest, quietest city, and there are touts and hassle to endure, but it’s more than worth it in Cairo.
So here are my first impressions of Cairo, from a personal Street Photographer perspective…

Bucharest
33 Street Photography Photos from Bucharest, Romania and Zagreb, Croatia
After Almaty came major cities #57 Bucharest, Romania and #59 Zagreb, Croatia on the Major City project. I’ll be discontinuing this 33 photos series on the blog very soon, but I’ll explain why along with exciting details on something new I have planned in an upcoming post. For now, though, I’ll share a last few additions of this long-time series here on Shooter Files.
So here’s 33 photos from my time covering Bucharest and Zagreb…
7 First Impressions of Zagreb, Croatia (From a Street Photography Perspective)
Zagreb, Croatia came in as major city #59 on my Major City project and here I’ll share a few first impressions covering the city with my camera. My project focuses on major cities, not tourist cities. Many times there’s some crossover there, but in Croatia, its coastline has blown-up recently when it comes to tourism, leaving in-land Zagreb off many lists. Zagreb still brings a decent amount of tourism with its historic upper town and attractions, but I included it because it’s Croatia’s capital and largest city. I wanted to see more than the beach tourism and Game of Thrones attraction. What I got was a city that won’t blow you away with unique interest, but has plenty of charm and enough variety to make for some enjoyable street photography. Zagreb has old character, activity, and a local atmosphere. While I wasn’t in love at first, I left being surprised at the interest and photos I came away with. If you’re coming to Croatia for the coast, I wouldn’t leave too quickly if you’re using Zagreb’s airport as a gateway, especially if you enjoy street photography.
So here are my first impressions of Zagreb, from my personal Street Photographer perspective…
