Street Photography, to the core

There is a small but fundamental difference.

Street Photography that points to excessive staying in place, observing and waiting for the right moment certainly has a nobility of its own. Which also responds to what Henri Cartier Bresson recommended.

However, my approach often breaks away from this expectation and thrives on my crossing the streets of the various neighborhoods. They are truly fragments of a moment in which everything is revealed and I find a moment that looks like photography to me. To do this type of photography you have to get into the rhythm of the place and, in a few moments, be ready to shoot. Everything is much faster and more instinctive. I am not preparing anything. The photos that arrive are profoundly different from those in which you have had time to calibrate well and obtain a more formal and rigorous composition.

The elements behind the main subjects then become the variables to be considered later. Not everything is predictable and undoubtedly it is less than in photographs where you have given yourself time. Here then is that instinct and certainly previous experience often make it possible to resolve the scene to be photographed in a positive way.
