I always considered Street Photography more a way of seeing and a different approach and way of living photography than a genre.
With this in mind I can achieve pictures with a street photography heart also in photos that apparently can't be framed in the genre.
Just outside the house I take two simple shots: the ones you can see in this post.
Photographing the nothing that has any meaning is what attracts me and at the same time intrigues me. What prompted me to draw attention to a certain scene? What is the reason why, as photographers, we are induced to take, even improbable things or photos, in fact, that show a motionless situation? Where does the concept of a photograph and subsequently of a series originate?
I think a lot on an ontological level about what I do. I think that each of us, as photographers, are intrigued by some things that we feel compelled to take a picture of. I think it is something absolutely personal and that pushes us to a different exaltation than the more formal photos that maybe we do on assignment or with a very specific project in mind.
Yet I think it is precisely the exaltation in the face of an erratic experience is the precious moment, a revelatory act of who I am as a photographer. That gift that pushes me to get close to something that I can't get it completely but I want to photograph. And it's like a great child experience.

Call for models. New artistic editorial photography project. Looking for Hairy girls/women in Mexico City to model for me. Against the stereotypes and cliche on beauty.
After I realized in 2014 the editorial project Mexicana I want to create a new project that defies the clichés of commonly accepted and imposed beauty.
For this artistic portrait project I am looking for women with body hair. Portraits may or may not include nudes, the model decides. Hair on arms, legs, armpits, pubis, face. It is a project that aims to propose something far from the stereotypes and aesthetic impositions of society and I am looking for girls who are motivated and free of problems with this issue. The project wants to be also an empowerment message of the woman, not depending by constraints imposed by society.
The project will take in account the psychology and the desire to get involved in each model, in order to propose a varied and multi-faceted work. For this reason it can include nude or no and it can be simple portraits, nude/erotica, fashion with a provocative approach.
Each work with a model is not related to others, however I want to combine this work with several models to present it on my page and maybe put together a printed book and an exhibition. In accordance with each model we can also carry out interviews and video recording.
The project in general is with TF agreement: to the model I offer the photos of the session / sessions with resolution for the internet use.
Info: [email protected]
I suggest sending a motivational letter with some photos that show you have body hair.
In case you are selected, prepare for a video call and eventually sign a model release.There is no age limit to participate except that of being over 18 years old.
Call always open
