Life of a Street Photographer

The life of a street photographer includes going everywhere with the camera at all times. This makes the life experience constantly permeated with photography.

Musico. Alex Coghe 2022

I enter the restaurant and a musician invites me to photograph him.

It happens more and more often that they ask me for photos. The funny thing is that often they don't even expect me to send them photos, just for the sake of being photographed, but most of the time I give them a business card inviting them to contact me and ask me for the photo, at least in electronic version.

I am fascinated by how life flows in a double thread between real life and my photography. That's why I think that a real photographer must be willing to give parts of his private life through photos that identify his everyday life.

At this point, I realize, you want to see what I ate:

Photography wouldn't make sense if we weren't willing to reveal parts of ourselves.

Already in the very act of photographing I show my life for what I have in front of me but it becomes a declared act when photography does not only show the world in front of me but scenes that are part of what you live. Thanks to be here, guys, you are my inspiration.
