Some considerations before to show the selection

When the sense of place is a key aspect of photographic research, you create a different kind of street photography, one that's non-sensationalist and allows you to experience a point of view without imposing anything. Indeed, it also allows the observer to construct through the experience of observation.

With this mindset it appears clear that I am not going to find the special event or the places where anyone goes, and even the attention towards certain things in a street is different.

The urban landscape, as explored in critical photography discourse, is never a neutral backdrop but a field of social, political, and psychological tensions. Rather than presenting the city as a fixed entity, the idea is to emphasize its status as a living archive, where architecture, infrastructure, and human presence intersect to reveal layered histories. The gaze upon the urban environment oscillates between documentary observation and subjective interpretation, underlining how every image is both a record of spatial reality and a projection of cultural meaning. In this sense, the city becomes not only a stage for human activity but also a portrait of power structures, economic flows, and collective memory etched into concrete and glass.

I think certain photography made on the street has completed a cycle. The difference will be made by those who have ideas that justify a peculiar research.
