what is alex street?

A brand that signifies experience. Decades of experience. Experiences for photographers. Target audience: true travelers, not tourists or armchair adventurers. A recognized and distinguishable brand that immediately evokes street photography, my own ES, but also the street as a physical and metaphysical element, capable of nourishing both the tangible and the irrational aspects.

alex street as a reserved space for those who share a special approach in which they can immerse themselves in the creative cocoon recognized as GONZOGRAPHY*, in the vision of its creator, Alex Coghe. This is an experience that is direct and never purely academic, and we firmly believe that the true connection has nothing to do with academia or cliques.

alex street is the importance of experience, particularly in the context of street photography. It aims to cater to genuine travelers and photographers who are interested in the raw and unfiltered essence of street life, rather than tourists or those who approach photography academically.

alex street, seeks to create a space where like-minded individuals can engage with the unique creative concept of GONZOGRAPHY. This concept promotes a direct and immersive approach to photography, one that transcends academic boundaries and embraces the true spirit of street photography. It's about connecting with the real world and the metaphysical aspects of the street, nurturing a creative community that values authentic experiences over conventional approaches.

I borrowed the Hunter S. Thompson concept of Gonzo Journalism, and I speak of Gonzo Photography. I immerse myself in the situation, I enter it really, I put myself at stake, I take my own risks. - Alex Coghe

• GONZOGRAPHY implies an idea that goes beyond simple documentation. In being truly connected with a certain event you must be part of it. And therefore personal interpretation and making you feel my own presence leads to a photographic approach that is different from that of a simple documentary photographer who goes to a place to do his job.

If you are ready to be part of this, you are ready for our expeditions and workshops. Otherwise, there are plenty of options out there for jocks who love the comfort and luxury of a 4-star hotel.

PLEASE NOTE: Quality of an expedition is determined also by the number and kind of participants. Through our policies and a number limited to 4 participants our photography expeditions allow us to avoid bandwagons that are detrimental both to the experience of each photographer and to how a group is received in the places where they go to work.
