In the middle of the year - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Alex Coghe / 19.05.2022 16:19

We almost arrived to mid year.

Photography I celebrate is mine. My street photography. A humanist and documentary photography, which really lives in the moment, without ruminating excessively on how to shoot. "Be quick or be dead" Iron Maiden sang. And borrowing it I can say be quick or your photography will be dead, or rather dull, devoid of that fresh and imponderable energy that only the street can give.

I had three great masters of photography. their names are Rome (Italy, my hometown), Los Angeles and Mexico City.

I owe everything I do and who I am today to them.

Some of my pictures lie unedited on my hard drive for years until I discover them. Most of the time it happens when I see a picture somewhere in a gallery that reminds me of an older shoot.

Very often I find images in my files that I didn’t initially see when selecting the images to edit shortly after the shoot. But with the interval of a few years, pictures often look very different. In this case it is a distance of fifteen years. We took this picture well after midnight, towards the end of an 8 hour shoot. It was a time when I could take pictures for hours without a break.

It’s actually a very simple image, I think it gets its power from the model’s facial expression.
