Noah Scialom, Baltimore Street Photographer
Baltimore street photographer Noah Scialom is no stranger to neighborhoods like Sandtown-Winchester. His method is to try to become a recognized face in the community, so when he photographs his subjects, they know and trust him. Armed with either his iPhone or his DSLR, Scialom frequently spends his days walking around Baltimore’s neighborhoods and making documenting the lives of its residents. An occasional freelancer for the Baltimore Sun Media Group, Scialom has made some headlines of his own — including when he recently snapped a photo of a Baltimore police officer with his gun out.

John Patterson, Baltimore Street Photographer
If Baltimore street photographer John Patterson could be invisible when he goes around shooting, he would be. Patterson, who runs a Facebook page and Tumblr called The Uncensored City, likes to capture moments with people in impoverished neighborhoods.

Carol Ott, Baltimore Street Photographer
Carol Ott started her Baltimore Slumlord Watch blog in 2009, “as a way for city residents to discuss and share information on Baltimore’s many slumlords,” her website states. And since both of her parents had a background in photography, it was a natural part of the project. So armed with her Canon 20D, Ott uses photos to capture the blight in many of Baltimore’s neighborhoods, which was the best way she could see to shine a light the issue.
