Canon EOS M200 for my Street Photography - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Alex Coghe / 30.05.2022 17:22

The complete move to Canon for digital is now complete. And it is the Canon EOS M200 that goes with my two DSLRs.

A camera presented for creators, especially YouTubers but I see a lot of potential for street photography. In fact, due to the minimalist design of the body, squared and inconspicuous reminds me of Ricoh GR.

Currently I only have the 15-45mm kit lens which is not the best, but certainly better than the lenses they usually offer you when you buy the camera, but the next purchase will be the 22mm lens which is a 35.2mm equivalent. And that lens is essentially the main reason for my decision to get a Canon M, in fact the pancake lens of Canon DSLRs is the 24mm that is equivalent in FF to a 38.4mm.

I bet on this camera: I can’t wait to share with you the next photos!

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.

The dog

The dog - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Alex Coghe / 25.03.2022 23:09

I found myself in Acaxochitlán.

It is one of the 84 municipalities of the state of Hidalgo, in central-eastern Mexico.

There was fog there and there was this stray dog.

Acaxochitlan has three languages; Nahuatl, Spanish, and Otomi. The atmosphere, maybe because of the fog, was like magical. And that dog was like to meet a spirit.

That look that reaches you and me, a photograph that I carry inside of that place where I will return.
