The sublime that gravitates around me

If street photography is personal, then let me tell you something.

City. Mexico City, 2022. Alex Coghe

What no one tells you is exactly what I'm interested in talking about here.

As with this photo, sometimes I just fall in love with a dress, colors that look good and just help to give an atmosphere throughout the frame. There are no obvious stories to emerge or underlines of contrasts and associations, however, there is an evoked atmosphere that acts on a profound level, which you cannot even explain to you. In this space between the real and the metaphysical I am absorbed as a photographer who tries to tell the real.

Today, more than ever, I feel that I deviate from the commitment that other current street photographers feel and rather seek in my photographing what makes me fall in love with the world around me. I photograph the beauty of humanity.
