ALEX STREET PHOTOGRAPHY HIGHLIGHTS AUGUST 2026
My street photography vibrates powerfully between the neo-topographic and a sense of "any-ness."
Am I undermining the sanctity of street photography? I don’t think so. Stephen Shore, William Eggleston, and Luigi Ghirri photographed on the street. And who tells me what to photograph on the street? A set of rules perhaps introduced in 2000? I believe many people are unaware that being out on the street with a camera is what truly sets us apart from those who only shoot in the studio or at weddings.
Well, the reference to a famous photograph by Stephen Shore is clear here.
What it is. We often forget that street photography is simply: what it is.
Sometimes I photograph for the sake of lines, geometries, and the way space is filled. This, too, leads me to observe the place.
A Ghirri-esque or Guidi-esque photo—take your pick. Either way, it speaks volumes about a place I walk to, given how close it is. It’s a wonderful idea to show you where I live.
I started this project, GEOGRAFIE, just this past August; I still don't know where it will take me, but I have certainly noted down many places.
Photographing nothingness is photographing much more than one might think. Partly because, first and foremost, it is a challenge against myself—which is, after all, the driving force behind my decision to hit the streets with a camera.
Managing the space within the frame, that is something I am deeply focused on. I am working hard at it and studying a great deal. Some photographs from six years ago hold up, but not perfectly. When I look back now at the Americana project, even though it led to my first solo exhibition, I find it naive.
Well, this photo identifies a lot of my current visual research.
Notes
Maturity is leading me toward a more reflective approach. I know what i want to achieve and I am not following any trend or label. I don0t care if some disagree with talking about street photography or urban landscape. I am just making my own thing: my photography.
