Who We Are

WORLDWIDE STREETS is a global street and documentary photography exhibition co-led by Peter Kalnbach, Sebastien Jean, and founder Adam Benedicto, who first launched the project in Shibuya, Tokyo. What began as a local exhibition quickly evolved into an international platform celebrating the diversity, depth, and authenticity of street photography around the world.

Each edition brings together emerging and established photographers, showcasing a broad range of styles—from raw street moments to fine art narratives. The work spans formats like 35mm film, digital, and experimental media, with a focus on large-format, gallery-quality prints. Most selected works are professionally printed and framed as part of the exhibition.

Beyond the gallery walls, WORLDWIDE STREETS fosters a strong sense of community through workshops, photo walks, artist talks, zines, and interactive events. With shows now held in cities like Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Tokyo, the project continues to grow as a celebration of photography, connection, and global visual storytelling.

    Based in Hamburg, Peter developed an eye for special moments early on during his travels. In 2017, he bought his first proper camera and began capturing what he saw through photography. He approaches every scene as if it were taken straight from a film.

    His work has since been exhibited in Hamburg, Tokyo, Berlin, and Trieste, and he gives workshops and lectures around the world. Peter is also the co-founder of WORLDWIDE STREETS.
