Looking inside an emotion

Why, in the end, isn't photography in its truest and most primitive essence just this? This is why I am completely indifferent to photography based on gimmicks, or rather, sometimes even intolerant of visual games. That is the idea that belongs to those who relegate only to technique and to making an egocentric act in photographing, but all the photographs you go back to look at are the ones that excite you.

And then we look inside the emotion. It is that need that pushes me to photograph, to search for that disarming humanity through a gesture and an expression, revealing a state of mind that becomes a reflection of existence itself, of our virtues and baseness as human beings.

I was a child and my gaze was always directed towards this: a real interest in people. Writer and then photographer. That is why I am still here after all these years. That is why I don’t know crisis. Crisis can be something you live with yourself but never thought that my kind of photography can experience crisis because humanity is here, and until humanity will exist my photography will exist.

Yesterday I given the second one to one Street Photography Experience in Mexico City in 3 days. And I made some shots that I want to share here.
