A super busy market in downtown: how to photograph
Some photographers detest the markets. Because we think of cliche photos, full of clichés. And also because it is not easy.
Christmex time
This is the thirteenth consecutive year that I spend Christmas outside Italy. Even though my life is here I can’t forget the Christmas holidays in my native country.
Action! Just myself shooting on the streets
I am not a photographer appearing a lot in person…I should do more, like someone said me.
Why you should photograph your neighborhood
One of the things I've noticed, common to many street photographers, is that they don't photograph in their neighborhood. Or at least, they rarely feature pictures of where they live.
The magazine, Leica and me
Do you want to have the last issue of the year including my work for Leica Camera AG?
The photograph you don't expect
I spent three years taking unexpected photographs. I made them in the heart of that project called AMERICANA which led me to exhibit my work for the first time in the center of Mexico City.
Maybe a new project has started
Something says me that I am seeing the birth of a new project…
When the importance of the personal diary prevails on the heavily curated sharing
There is no better approach than another.
The rules and the unwritten code on the street
I pass and I am called by a group of street guys. They greet me and I do the thumbs up so when one of them asks me for a photograph: una foto para el face!
I already know I can’t refuse.
Technique is easy, Storytelling is the challenge.
Garry Winogrand said you can learn the technique in 2 hours, the difficult is to tell a story in a image. Of course, I agree.
Anuario de Fotografia de Calle Mexicana 2021 is available
I am pleased to announce the book Anuario de Fotografia de Calle Mexicana 2021 realized by the collective Observadores Urbanos is now available.
The reasons why I completely stopped participating in photography contests
To tell the truth, I have never participated very actively in photographic competitions. There are photographers who participate in any land-based contest / award.
Highlights December 2021
Here we go with the last best of the month selection for this year.
Street Photographer state of mind
Such a great year I pushed myself in rough places, challenging my own comfort zone, leaving out old dynamics. By being out of a brand I am doing my own thing, without responding anymore to guidelines and rules. I purchased camera and lenses to respond only to my vision.
Street Photos, Science fiction and Schwarzenegger
One of my favorite science fiction movies was filmed in Mexico City.
What kind of street photographer you are?
This ontological question often repeats itself in my thoughts. And the answer is never the same.
