“Salir a la calle con tu cámara es convertirte en uno solo con ella y disparar según lo que sientas.”

Hello, friends of the Black and White community. I love taking street portraits; it's one of the things I am most passionate about. Between creating chaos in the composition or playing around with framing, I also stop to take photos and analyze people's gestures. When someone is waiting, anxious, happy, distracted, rushed, or stressed. In my project about buses, many of you may have noticed that I always pay attention to those details.
But out on the streets, I also stop to capture those moments, sometimes cropping the image just to isolate the raw expression. It is something that comes heavily from the street and documentary photography that I love so much. I have a giant archive of faces. Unfortunately, you can't do much with them commercially because to work with faces, you need a permit (a model release). So, my greatest joy is saving them and sharing them with communities like this one.
Going out on the street with your camera means becoming one with it and shooting based on how you feel. One day you wake up wanting to shoot only faces, another day you want to focus on framing, another day you want to compose, or you simply adapt to whatever the situation throws at you. That is a bit of what I wanted to bring you today. I hope you like it. I send you a hug, I hope everything is going well in these times, and I would love to read some of your comments so we can interact and talk a bit more about photography. Thank you all!

Hola, amigos de la comunidad de Blanco y Negro. Me encanta hacer retratos callejeros; es una de las cosas que más me apasiona. Entre crear caos en la composición o jugar un poco con el framing (enmarcado), también me detengo a tomar fotos y analizar los gestos de las personas. Cuando alguien está esperando, angustiado, contento, distraído, apurado o estresado. En mi trabajo de los buses muchos se habrán dado cuenta de que siempre le presto atención a esas cosas.
Pero en las calles también me detengo a capturar esos instantes, a veces recorto un poco la imagen (cropear) para dejar solo la expresión cruda. Es algo que viene mucho de la fotografía de calle y documental que tanto me gusta. Tengo un archivo gigante de rostros. Lamentablemente, no se puede hacer mucho con ellos a nivel comercial porque para trabajar con rostros necesitas un permiso (un model release). Así que mi mayor alegría es guardarlos y enseñarlos a comunidades como esta.
Salir a la calle con tu cámara es convertirte en uno solo con ella y disparar según lo que sientas. Un día te levantas con ganas de hacer solo rostros, otro día quieres hacer framing, otro día buscas componer, o simplemente te acoplas a lo que te da la situación. Eso es un poco de lo que les quería traer el día de hoy. Espero que sea de su agrado. Les mando un abrazo, espero que en estos tiempos todo esté yendo bien, y me gustaría leer algunos de sus comentarios para poder interactuar y hablar un poco más sobre fotografía. ¡Gracias a todos!
"Buenas vibras para todos, espero que nada los esté afectando; y si es así, que todo va a parar."
