Enchanting street photography uncovers the twilight zone of European life

Street photography is always fresh, honest and undistorted. Without any chance to imply anything but the truth, it's a wonderful genre that unearths the real, often humorous identity of our cities and towns. Which is why you should check out the work of French photographer Arnaud Brossard.

Based in Bordeaux, Brossard loves to uncover the weird and the wonderful of everyday life. He likes to pick out what he considers to be the 'twilight zone' of both people and places. This particular series of images were taken in France, as well as during a visit to Estonia. Make sure you check out more of Brossard's work on Facebook.
