The Street Photographer Agenda Episode 28

Some notes before the gallery

We live in a totally superficial era and even street photography is trying to make it irrelevant by enhancing a type of photography that focuses on stupid visual games,as seen in the previous post, A thing I want to say: that street photography has short life, it doesn’t work except for those lacking of visual culture, because is boring. Terribly boring. With irrelevant content. But smoke and airplanes peeking out from behind a head shot from behind are boring and useless material. It doesn’t matter how hypes receive. Photography is another thing.

With that said, giving fiood for thought, let me share some shots made yesterday.

I don't expect my kind of photography to be appreciated by everyone. But my photography is based on expressions, gestures, what I find in that moment and I do it every day. Not just on Saturday afternoons. I put myself in difficult places and photograph reality. All of this work feeds into a coherent and thick portfolio. My references are truly humanist photographers such as Anthony Hernandez, Joel Meyerowitz, Garry Winogrand, Camilo Jos´Vergara, just to mention the first names that come to mind.

Sometimes a careful observation of the frame is required to really understand what I saw, because is subtle. Visual games are bullshit. Someone is pressing to sell it as great street photography. Don't believe him. A photographer tells you that despite many disappearances over the course of 5 years, he is still here after 15 years.
