Of humanism, seriality and the gaze of the street photographer

Written By Alex Coghe

The human condition is enormous matter. And inexhaustible source of inspiration.

And this is what I refer to every time I am on the street with the camera.

Yesterday I published on twitter:

Please someone could say to east photographers that “giant” dogs and cats is crappy #streetphotography? Really…how many optical effects we have to see again and again?

I believe that these optical games that tourists also play when they go to Pisa are not STREET PHOTOGRAPHY. If you don’t agree you could write a comment here explaining your defense of those photos.

In the meaqntime, guys, you know: I continue to be inspired by humans and their gestures and expressions.
