Street Photography is first of all a mindset

I don't like to think about rules. No rules and more freedom.

Barrio is green. Mexico City, 2022. Alex Coghe

Being a street photographer has a lot to do with a condition. A condition of the photographer that allows him to be receptive to the visual stimulus at all times.

It didn't seem real to me that I met this association of colors yesterday, in my barrio. I haven't thought about it that much. I framed it the way it seemed to work and shot. I have not taken other shots. These are the gifts that the street brings us. I enjoyed it on my big Lenovo monitor.

The vibrant colors throughout the composition delight the eye. A full frame built with several layers that add value to an image, even quite simple, but able to represent the sense of place. A photograph that is best viewed in large format and even better printed. If you want a print just let me know.
