Fly on the wall

‘A person who observes a situation without being noticed or without interfering.’ You are eavesdropping. You are listening in. You are a bystander, a witness and, sometimes, a spy. ‘Fly on the wall’, tries to be a colourful kaleidoscope with a focus to capture the essence of a moment, the emotions and stories behind it. By blending into the background and observing, the photographer is able to capture the candid moments that truly represent a culture and its traditions. Being a \'fly on the wall\' is a privilege and a responsibility. It allows the registrator to tell stories through images, to shed light on the beauty and diversity of our world and to preserve it for future generations.
