Very sad news about the great Magnum photographer Ian Berry (1934–2026). He was always so generous with his time. When I asked him for a few words about his time collaborating with the Observer art director Romek Marber (1925–2020), a three-hour conversation offered a wonderful insight.

Looking at photography under the banner of street photography - I realise photographers these days have forgotten what street photography was all about say 20 or 30 years ago. It’s all about pretty pictures these days-or is it ? Point me in the direction of good street photography produced today.

It's an art - I like to use fill in flash and a big camera when shooting street photography. I am (mostly) inconspicuous up until I take the shot. After a while you get used to seeing something happen before it happens, or you see something happen and go back and wait for it to happen again.
