Street Photography ES
Let me introduce myself. While many of the street photographers here know me, I figure maybe I should let others in on who I am.
My name is Alex Coghe. I am Italian, born in Rome but I moved definitely in Mexico City in 2010.
I shoot Mexico City since 12 years ago so this means that I know enough this city. As a professional photographer I do photojournalism and portraits, specializing in books for models. I worked also for Leica Camera Ag on assignment and for Burberry. That was my debut in fashion photography.
I have been providing street photography workshops for quite a few years now.
My workshops are real experiences and usually I work with small groups or private one to one for all levels. My workshops in Mexico City are a success with students coming from any part of the world. Recently I added Oaxaca as city available for my masterclass street photography workshop. I propose also photographic expeditions in Oaxaca, for example in October&November during Day of the Dead celebrations.
For STRKNG I decided to focus on street photography but I reserve in future to show part of my work with models.
On my website alexcoghe.com you will find a lot of resources and I am publishing a small guide to street photography.
About Street Photography I can say that is part of me every single day. It doesn't matter if I'm in my barrio or in downtown: every time I go out I have to do it with a camera, digital or film.
I ask my students what their motivations are. Because I believe that they have to be strong if you want to be a street photographer. There is a difference between being and doing it. I don't want to go into too much depth here on the ontology of being street photographers but let me tell you that for me it's about being willing to bleed. I mean not literally but willing to really pour ourselves into the work we are going to do.
When I am on the street I certainly do not hide what I am doing, or photographing. I am in an open and positive attitude, I smile because I love what I do and in all these years I must say that even shooting in places considered difficult if not dangerous I have never had excessive problems.
I photographed also with flash, it happens often to get very close to people, using lenses between 28mm and 35mm. The goal for me is a photograph showing gestures and that special humanity that you can find in a shot.
What I do is to interpret what has always been my curiosity towards other people. I do it and I did it as a writer and I don't turn it off when I have the camera with me.

Casting Call in Mexico. Hairy girls wanted.
For a particular editorial projects going against common placesSamstag, 01.01.2022 10:55h - Donnerstag, 20.01.2022 10:55h
Mexico City
Mexiko / Nordamerika
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

Street Photographer and Photojournalist.
Street Photography Workshops and Expeditions in Mexico.
Portrait, Erotica, Fashion.
I am an Italian documentary photographer based in Mexico. In 2013 I worked on assignment for Leica Camera AG, realizing the documentary project “People of Chapultepec” published worldwide in the Leica X brochure. My work in Mexico is focused on the documentation of human conditions in the barrios, popular neighborhoods of Mexico City and I collaborate with some NGO in Oaxaca. Currently my work is represented by Polaris Images and LatinPhoto.
As a Street Photographer I work everyday on the streets. My commitment is to spread the culture of street photography and since 2014 I am publisher of THE STREET PHOTOGRAPHER NOTEBOOK, a printed and electronic edition magazine. I pay the photographers featured.
As a photo coach my street photography workshops in Mexico count with students coming from any part of the world.
