Behind The Lens

I'm Rob Parisien, an international street art and travel photographer. I've spent much of my life chasing images, moments that catch my attention and make me stop, look closer, and reach for my camera.

Born and raised in Canada, I've travelled through more than 65 countries and lived in places including Australia, India, Japan, and the Philippines. Those experiences have shaped how I see the world, the people in it, and the stories I capture through photography.

My street and travel photography is drawn to the details of everyday life. A weathered doorway, a stranger passing through a shaft of light, an unexpected reflection, or a fleeting moment on a crowded street. I look for images that tell a story without needing an explanation.

I prefer working alone, moving through unfamiliar places with my camera and following whatever catches my eye. Natural light plays an important role in my documentary photography, and I've learned that some of the most compelling photographs happen when you least expect them.

For more than four decades, I've also worked in film, television, theatre, and live entertainment, collaborating on productions around the world. That experience has influenced my understanding of composition, lighting, movement, and visual storytelling.

Today, Chasing The Image brings together my street art, travel, and documentary photography from years of exploring cultures, observing everyday life, and discovering unexpected moments around the world.

For me, photography has always been about being in the right place, recognizing the moment, and capturing it before it's gone.
