Omar Essam’s ‘Japan Street Opera’ Shows How Inspitation Helps to Overcome a Creative Rut

“It encouraged me to discover what I actually did over the next 18 days - without limits”. These are the words of Omar Essam as he describes the impact Japan had on him and his street photography. Having found himself in a rut, Italian born Omar planned a trip to the other side of the world.

Once he arrived he was overcome with inspiration, giving him fresh eyes and a thrust to create. Over the course of 18 days, he was “in a trance”, centred and focused on street photography.
