Snippets reflect the transitory experiences we have when passing through scenes, places, and times with people that are fragmentary and atomistic pieces of a great whole.
Snippets of Montevideo was made in November of 2025 while having just a few hours to make images and remember the light that was falling on the city and its people. The story it tells is merely that of light and people at a given time – a few hours that people were illuminated with the energy of the sun, radiating that light back onto the camera sensor that has frozen milliseconds of their life.
All images made using a Fuji x100F or an iPhone 17 Pro, and lightly edited using Darkroom and/or Apple Photos. This series was first published on Glass.
About Me
Christopher Parsons an amateur Toronto-based documentary and street photographer, and has been making images for over a decade. His monochromatic photographs focus on little moments that happen on the streets and which record the ebb and flow of urban life over the course of years and decades.
His work often tries to capture the urban landscape from unfamiliar perspectives and routinely focuses on attention to small and transient details of his environments. Rather than pursuing individuals on the streets he focuses on the backdrops of the urban environment and how subjects live their lives passing through them.
His work has been highlighted on Ted Forbes’ YouTube Channel, The Art of Photography, on the Photowalk Show podcast hosted by Neale James, as well by the Glass social media platform.
Outside of photography, Christopher has worked on high-profile national and international privacy, data security, and national security issues. He is currently employed at a government data privacy and transparency regulator.
