Leanne Staples

I am a street photographer, a lens-based artist and a writer. I provide street photography workshops and private photo tours in New York City. I also have three self-published photo zines and I publish a photography newsletter twice a month.

Chance is a big part of my work, whether abstract or street photography. My approach to photography has always been about experimenting, making so-called mistakes, and allowing chance to be part of the process. Chance is an obvious factor with street photography as I am unable to predict many factors.
