More Info

Mbaye finds that the streets held the essence of real life, capturing the vivid experiences of street vendors and the unguarded moments of strangers. His photographs reveal profound emotions—hope, fear, and pain—offering a window into the human condition.

Mame Cheikh Mbaye continues to explore and document the stories of everyday life through his lens, enriching the visual landscape with his unique perspective and dedication to social causes.

His work will likely inspire a greater appreciation for African street photography, influence emerging artists with its raw emotionality, and contribute to a more inclusive and diverse representation in contemporary art.

100% will go towards his travel.
