It is 10pm in the Marais neighbourhood in Paris. The neon lights of a pizzeria attract our attention, there is a “Blueberry Nights” atmosphere hovering around the place, so we get in and sit at the only availabe table. Next to us, by the window, a couple of young people are enjoying a drink and […]
This picture was taken on Avenida Corrientes, which is the main street for entertainment in Buenos Aires. Be it musicals, plays for adults, or comics show for teens, the wide avenue if full of billboards and neons and makes it a great place for street photography. Also, it is not unusual to stumble upon young […]
The world belongs to those who get up early, right ? It applies both to fishermen … and photographers I suppose. Last Saturday, I decided to get up early and drive to Rosario for an early outing. My idea was to take pictures downtown and find these spots where the sun hits early in the […]
Every once in a while I stumble upon a picture and I do not understand what is going on. I guess it will be the case of many viewers in the case of this “fire girl” scene. Some people from Rosario that know the place will eventually figure it out but for others, I will […]
The night has fallen over Rosario, Argentina’s most dangerous city. A late bus makes a quick stop in lower downtown. A passenger jumps out like he suddenly has become the prey. He will rush home, lock himself up and won’t go back out until the next day. This picture was taken from my car while […]
I like to play with colors. I saw the girl standing at the crossroad and spotted the incoming bus. Just as I clicked, someone walked in my field of view.

Two virtues of a street photographer are anticipation and patience. Analyzing a scene and people’s behaviors will allow you to anticipate what will occur next. Obviously, one of the beauties of street photography is that a scene never unfolds exactly like you think it would. Yet, in some cases, you’ll correctly guess. You then just […]
Want to see some amazing street photographs while eating one of the best pizzas in town? Visist Pizza Plaza on the main avenue, Peatonal Cordoba 901. I especially loved one of Ruth Orkin’s picture “American Girl in Florence”, one of the best street photographs ever in my opinion ! American Girl in Florence by Ruth […]
Cuba is an amazing place to shoot street photography. But an uneasy one. Indeed, what makes it visually attractive to the Western photographer is often the reflection of a failed society. Indeed, decadence, poverty, resignation are part of Cuban’s daily life, and they all wish for a better world. Meanwhile, they still focus on the […]
Sometimes you have to defy gravity (and some extra kilos) to get the picture. I like it very much when my subjects have a uniform background around their head. I guess this is one of the advantages to be 1.98 meters. This picture was taken with Leica M9 and 24mm Elmarit, reason why I had […]
