A full view of the city: my mission with Street Photography

After I finished the urban landscape project in 2020 (AMERICANA) I felt the strong need to go back to my most classic street photography, the one that had changed my life over 15 years earlier.

In the meantime, the world had changed. Definitely more difficult and the system clearly an enemy of humanity. I have changed too.

As a photographer but, above all, as a human being. Without letting myself be intoxicated, as always, by the system and its pervasive means. But somehow more aware of what I would be facing. This is why I did not identify and still do not identify with a whole series of works by colleagues who exalted the globalist narrative.

If as a journalist I observed everything that moved around what made the most of public opinion, managing to understand well before the others what we would experience in this 2022 (and I was not wrong), as a photographer I regressed to a period of enthusiasm for details and apparent , insignificant things that instead reveal so much about humanity.

To achieve these goals, I also understood that a change in the equipment I was using was necessary. If you ask me about, yes: the change with the move to Canon would have happened anyway. Because in my choices I have always done what I want. And what is good for me. And for my photography.

The king brand of photojournalism is still Canon, guys. Check out in a journalist's station, check out at World Press Photo the percventage of cameras used. But much more than this, my choice was linked both to their development and to the result of the colors and in my always wanting to obtain consistency in terms of aesthetic and content results.

Here I am. Several months have passed and the results prove me right. Today I am a new photographer. Inspired and thrilled even more than before.
