Especially in this historical phase I try to make photography that is full of life. I want it as a photographer because I need it as a human being.

As anticipated yesterday, the first volume of THE RICOH FILES is now available as electronic and printed edition book.

This has been an extremely prolific month for me which also resulted in the launch of my new visual blog. I made a lot of photos and many of a good standard. Making a choice was not easy, but in the end I favored those that suggest some notes to share with you readers.

Soon on the shop of this website will be released The Ricoh Files in 2 volumes.

I have been street shooting  since 1977 after a visit to a Garry Winogrand exhibit. It shook my world and I have had the itch ever since.

You can already purchase your copy (electronic and prited edition available) of THE STREET PHOTOGRAPHER NOTEBOOK.

With Street Photography I nurture that innate curiosity I have for people.

Sometimes the themes come without realizing it. And sometimes in a single output you can find yourself almost unconsciously photographing situations that refer to a single theme. This happened - again - to me in one afternoon.

The urban complex of Nonoalco Tlatelolco is an architectural jewel because it represents the climax of what was the architecture of the 20th century in Mexico City.

I thought I’d share with you an example of the day when I go to make photos in downtown.

What you can already see on my new visual blog makes us understand the new course of my photography.

A technique that is probably the most misunderstood and ridiculed by those who don't know.

When it comes to Street Photography there are too many codes and rules that have become commonplace, to the point that many photographers, after reading them on many posts on the internet, repeat them, considering them acquired truths to be respected.

I am pleased to present you a new space that will contain my daily work as a street photographer.

Recently on this blog I expressed my idea about shooting from the hip as you can read clicking here. Yesterday I shared on instagram:

A few days ago on this blog I wrote that street photography is not a genre but rather it is the essence of an experience and a preference for what we do and who we are.

There is a photographer who shoots in an instant. From that instinctive recognition, from that solicitation that the speed of the action on the street sees the sign of what the metropolis is.

Those who have known me in recent years will be surprised by the photos featured in this book. But Ricoh - The Book will be appreciated by those in love with Japanese photography.

There is a secret that is not even a secret. Many people ask me how to get famous and respected in the international street photography community. And my answer is always the same.

I know how much photographers with Ricoh cameras love the Positive film simulation. OK…and those not working with a Ricoh GR camera? This is the reason why I decided to realize these presets. Now you color street photography will be more pushed!
