Street Photography Highlights July 2025
So this month…
Who says street photography can't be political? Street photography is fucking political. And through this I can send messages. So forget all those children of political correctness. And forget those who think street photography is just a game or funny stories. We are in the middle of a genocide and we are in the Trump era where a weirdo every single day is pissing off the whole world with their insane imperialist behaviour. At the same time we are living in a great era for documentary photography and if we look the other way, photographing only nonsense, then we are really wasting time with our cameras.
This photograph is a response to one I took three years ago in the same place, with a tourist bus as the background.
Creating an effect within the frame is what I often do. And so even a photo this confusing can find meaning.
As a photography enthusiast, I've always loved those photographs that allow the urban space to breathe, allowing me to observe it with even greater attention. I love it when a frame reveals a sense of depth in a metropolitan area.
I think this is one of my trademarks. Characters who enter the frame and end up dominating it, even when out of focus.
Taking photographs with one hand, while the other holds another camera, and simultaneously speaking, explaining the creative and compositional process of an image. These two photos came about like this, intent on working the scene and waiting for everything to come together within my frame.
Intention seeps into the image, becoming its own declaration and signature. A sort of obsession, by now. A leitmotif, along with everything else that surrounds it. Which includes the difficulty of working in certain contexts where they expect anything but seeing someone using a real camera.
Working in close-up, yet layering. And I like the idea of the hidden gem within the frame. I force you to spend more time observing with my photography. Fucking Instagram!
Funny…how many actions we can find inside a photographic composition? It is the human gesture, it is the frame division. It is all of that. And the awareness…I am becoming another photographer.
The great Ozzy abandoned this dimension. Now everybody talking, but exactly the same for Lemmy, he was so important during my metal years. Yes, Black Sabbath were the fathers of Heavy Metal, but hey, I know they were also the fathers of Doom Metal that is something different, if cultivated with care. This photo with mushrooms is meant to be a dedication from me. And I think is a cool way to close this post this month.
