Street Photography is the most powerful humanist key that exists

For me, street photography is essentially a tool to understand the human being. And from not counting on an excessively thoughtful elaboration as writing can be, it offers a more direct look with fewer filters.

In the immediacy of a shot, the communicative power of the street is evident, of the situations it generates, through expression, a gesture.

The inclined body of the woman itself communicates a gesture so humanly normal that it becomes content itself. There is no need to add anything else. No titles and captions needed. So when the photographer observer manages to offer an idea like this, the raison d'etre of street photography becomes apparent.
