Loren Shapiro is the founder and creator of Silience, a project dedicated to capturing the unnoticed beauty of everyday life through powerful, candid-esque images.
The name Silience was inspired by John Koenig's Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. It refers to the unnoticed excellence allaround us—hidden talents, fleeting moments, and everyday creativity that often go unappreciated, though they could be considered masterpieces if given proper attention.
Silence encourages this creativity through iPhoneography, offering the freedom to capture spontaneous yet thoughtful moments on the move without the bulk of traditional cameras.
All images on this site were shot with Loren's iPhone.
