As we’ve pointed out on other occasions, it’s not unusual for graffiti writers to develop a special interest for the art of photography. Far from being an exception are those who dedicate themselves to painting trains and metros. This artistic transformation produces some quite spectacular results due to the stealth nature of the photograph being taken, the exclusivity of the settings, and the palpable tension in these situations captured on film.
Kobeyashie is one of those individuals who takes his finger of the cap for a few seconds to place it on the shutter and catch the atmosphere of the most sacred places where the purest graffiti occurs.
“During the years i noticed it was always hard to find a person who wanted to join and just take photos… its impossible… So i started to do it myself.“
We’ve got an exclusive selection of images taken in a few European suburban systems that nod to the new MTN Speed, the tool of choice for the types of moments that are captured in the photos. If you still want to see more, then make sure to follow his Instagram.
