Everyday commutes are a symphony of fleeting moments, a constant flow of lives intersecting without pause. The faces you pass—lost in thought, scrolling through phones, or gazing out train windows—offer a glimpse into untold stories. There’s an anonymity to it, yet each person is a universe unto themselves, heading somewhere unknown: to work, to school, to a rendezvous, or maybe nowhere in particular.
For photographers, the commute is an endless canvas. The interplay of movement and stillness—rushing crowds against the static backdrop. Expressions change with each step and conditions can change in an instant. You’ll never know where they’re going or what their day will hold, but that mystery is what makes these moments so captivating. In every passing face, there’s a story untold, and in every frame, the chance to capture the everyday journey.
