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. Yet, sometimes street photographers get lucky, the umbrella was also blue. Taken in Rosario, Argentina, with Leica M10 and 35mm Summilux at F1.4, 1/500, ISO200
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 […]
From time to time, I will spend a bit more time on a picture I took and explain why I took it this way. I shot this photograph in La Boca, the famous Buenos Aires neighborhood. We were leaving when suddenly I spotted this woman sitting inside an art gallery. I had the 60mm Konica […]
I remember dearly this 2018 trip to New york for New Year’s Eve. A huge snowstorm hit as we arrived to I got to shoot in magical (but cold) conditions. During the coldest day, I had to go back to the flat we rented to switch cameras since the viewfinder and shutter had frozen. This […]
It had been ten years since my last posting of this series. Never too late they say. This odd scene took place in Buenos Aires main avenue, across the street from the Obelisco monument. The main difficulty of this shot was not to be ran over by incoming traffic. Picture courtesy of Juan Manuel Atencio […]
