FROZEN LIVES

Streetphotos by Ofoto Ray from 2008. ALL PHOTOS FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND USE. LINK INSIDE THE BOOK.
I was a photographer. A street photographer. A portrait photographer. From 2008 to 2023, I poured my heart, soul, and countless hours into capturing people and life on the streets. It was passion, it was joy, it was purpose.

But somewhere after 2020, the spark began to fade. The streets felt different, the meaning behind the lens started slipping away. And then came AI. With its endless appetite to mimic, replace, and erase, it drained me of the will to continue. Knowing that artificial intelligence is bulldozing through every craft, stripping away culture while governments stand by-or worse, orchestrate destruction on a massive scale-pushed me to a breaking point. So here is my stand. A statement against globalization. A statement against the rat race that is swallowing people whole.
I am giving away all my photographs-every single one I made between 2008 and 2023. High-resolution. Free.
Take these images. Keep them alive. Let them breathe new life, new meaning, beyond me.
