Street Photography and inner world

I'm about to go out to go to the historic center but I want to write a quick post first

Central - Mexico City, 2021

I will be able to return to the subject, I think in the post at the end of the year.

But here I want to share with you a thought that has been present in me for a while. This is definitely a year of pleasant rediscovery of a part of me, I speak above all of my way of photographing, which has led me to rediscover a different creative vein.

With greater personal and authorial maturity I feel I have immersed myself again in that way of photographing that had prompted me to approach street photography at the beginning. Far from motivations also built by the environment and rather pouring myself into my inner world and into what prompted me at the beginning to tell stories that at first were only poured out on white pages with ink.

In all this, the fact of no longer having to respond to a brand but rather only to myself has opened the boundaries by breaking down those stakes that inevitably were present because I had to respond to certain impositions. I feel that since I am free and have to answer only to myself my street photography has clearly benefited.

The best thing that could have happened to me this year happened in early September. And my photography has finally freed itself of a heavy and essentially useless ballast. The one that benefited them more than it actually benefited me.

I was able to verify this even more on my recent trip to Oaxaca. With the experience gained but with renewed enthusiasm, with that fire inside that animated me in 2011 when I went to Los Angeles and then I did the famous Reality Remade project today I feel I am a new street photographer.

In a year that has marked change for so many things that have happened today I am ready to propose a lot and I will do it also thanks to this new blog that has helped to renew my creative lymph.

And now, guys, I have to go. Let's go do some street!
