What I do on the street

What I do on the street - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Alex Coghe / 20.07.2021 16:43

I would define myself a concerned street photographer.

I consider myself belonging to old school street photography, the one that still considers it important that the photograph taken on the street is a document of the era and of society and not a form of showing my photographic eye. To visual games and optical effects I prefer gestures, expressions, how the human being fills the public space, the interaction with the urban context.

The new breed of street photographers is focused often on the wow effect: this is because today with instagram and the social networks the attention is only 3 seconds as maximum.

I prefer to focus the attention on things that will have value to see in 20 or 50 years.
