ABOUT ME
Visual artist and Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts. Training and ex-
perience in artistic, educational and social fields. Photography
has been part of me but always in the background, as a refer-
ence resource.
Now I explore new approaches to express myself by street
photography.
My camera and I are two bodies perfectly synchronised in a
pursuitwanderinginthestreetsinsearchofaone-offmoment.
Contents of my shots ate unknown people engaged in their
daily routines, their happiness, their business, and sometimes
in their sufferings as well.
Spirits that unaware of my intentions reflect the situation and
life in the streets. My camera and I, a unique body in the search
of milliseconds which run ignored and get diluted in the in-
finite time. Silence and unwavering that coexisting in our con-
dition.
My camera and I experiencing the hidden secrets on city
streets in search of the meaning of my own existence trying to
capture the essence of a documentary, landscape and portrait
genres.

SHOOT FROM DISTANCE
I look for environmental scenes with interesting
characters and take a documentary approach.
Shooting from across the street can make me
feel more as an onlooker.
This picture was taken in Amsterdam. There is
no comparison between a pose and a natural
photo. When I shoot, I try to capture the essence
of the scene and catch the protagonists in the
most natural way possible.

We could spend a lot of time debating whether the“posed street portrait”really qualifies
as street photography.
Portraiture gender has to have these characteristics:
- It can be shot candidly or not candidly.
- It focuses on the person more than the environment.
- It often conveys feelings. There is a lot of interest right now in telling the story.
-The face is the focus.

SHOOT FROM BEHIND GLASS
Some times, the mood of the day makes
street photo is determined by being
confronted by their subjects behind glass or
walls.
Shooting into a building from the street
gives you a bit of perceived protection by
the safety of the window and, in terms of
aesthetic, can provide awesome textures to
play with.

FROM THE BACK
Shooting from the back is a great way to
photograph to look for characters wearing
interesting clothing and hats. Also, the
composition can be created and combined by
different directions from the people’s back that
elements integrate the live-frame.

“To me, the most important characteristic is having a sharp eye and being aware of
the environment around you. This means looking out for, not just colours, shapes,
lights, shadows and so on, but observing people and how they appear and act as
well. Knowing the environment will help in preparing for that moment.”
