Highlights May 2024
A dense month that included also some days of inspirational crisis
Playing with layers, to create a composition that includes many elements and reading levels. The shutter speed management adds an extra thrill to this image.
My reason for taking pictures is to offer a reflection and a social critique, but then shots like this one happen that I can't avoid. He is not a street artist, but simply a boy who wanted to dress up like this and this is the extraordinary thing about Mexico. And that after all these years still continues to amaze me.
About people on the phone and that they are a cliché. Avoidable to photograph. But this is the world today. Full of people absorbed in an LCD screen and not paying attention to the world around them. But here there is also the beauty of the captured moment. An interesting character. A precious light. Many reasons to shoot.
Street photographer's eye. That I don't have to explain everything to you and I focus on the details of life.
A photograph in the neighborhood that points to a sense of place.
It is rarely emphasized that photographing people who move is not easy. Rather, we witness, a lot, the celebration of spruced-up photos, where the skill certainly consists in the composition, but does not live on a certain speed of execution as can be a photo of a person who passes quickly by you. Both autofocus and manual focus can fail. You don’t have much time. It is about risk and a moment that is not called like a situation where people are still or they make few movements. In this photograph, the expression is certainly the winner.
A giant stylized dildo. That's basically what it is. I don't know how many photographers take you into a sex shop.
I keep looking at the reflections and what they can generate in me.
I always find certain views that the urban landscape offers interesting. And for me it becomes impossible to resist.
I don't do many juxtapositions. Only when it's worth it.
Some ideas to share with you
It hasn't been an easy month from a purely creative point of view. I've done a lot of photography but without the push of enthusiasm that I usually have. Accomplice a crazy heat that makes it difficult to even concentrate, I've often found myself in a sort of limbo where even after a good photo I didn't feel happy. So I tried to solve by changing places. I found some comfort in videos and books.
It wasn't a creative crisis but something worse. But I'm already getting out of it. I did the press coverage. It helped me a lot. Sometimes is sufficient even changing camera. To photograph again with my Rebel was refreshing.
