Interesting moments that only Street Photographers can get

Street Photography moves on a different plane. This is why it is profoundly different from photojournalism.

Blonde - Mexico City, 2022

This is a photo that is right to share some thoughts with you.

I was struck by this girl, certainly a tourist, with that green dress that you saw in the 60s and 70s. This is another Meyerowitz moment and if you don’t know what I am talking about you have to CLICK HERE.

Posture and expression are photogenic only in a street photography sense. Moments like these when photographed reveal much more than a photo, they constitute a question mark and refer to one of the things most frequented by us street photographers: the imponderable that affirms itself from the decision to shoot. That not everything inside the frame is perfect, that it makes you feel you are there, that it makes you want to know more. Which is not all packaged. And I'm not just referring to not preparing the shot, not working a scene, but rather the conscious affirmation that street photography, at least for me, lives of moments like this rather than the formal precision that we see too often proposed, almost forgetting the importance of urgency.

If there is a problem that I see in current street photography, it is that it has settled on a formal rigor that is boring. Many now seem to be reciting a script and on that they have settled down.

The Webbization has been a virus for Street Photographers. It’s time to say enough.
