Backstreet II

The back of the houses can be both a magical place of adventures

Backstreet I

Backyard I

When we pass in the streets of every city we see the facades of houses and forget that there is a parallel and half-hidden world. The backyard world. 

And the back of the houses can be both a magical place of adventures as place of despair and pain.

Street Colours IX

A very hot day. An evening with warm light and huge shadows.

The colors complement each other harmoniously.

A man seems to walk along the wall towards an ad that promises bright and fresh beers.

Or maybe towards the red lights and green roof mauve, glowing in the dark, of a taxi stopped with the door opened, mysteriously, as if, with premeditation, it was waiting for someone - because the ad also speaks of hitchhiking?

As children we believe in magic. When we become adults magic diminishes to nonbelief. Photographers have a chance to find and believe in magic again.

As fotografias de rua são também uma importante vertente de documentação / interpretação imparcial sobre o tempo em que são feitas. Nas últimas décadas aumentou o número de grandes metrópoles pelo mundo (mais de 50% da Humanidade vive em cidades) representando o maior “artefacto” produzido pelo homem. Assim, a fotografia de rua acaba por ser um retrato da nossa civilização.

“Ideas are very important and underrated in photography. A photograph, like a written text or a short story, is an idea. A photograph is an idea. A visual idea."

(Constantine Manos)

"So to sum up: photograph fewer situations, but when you find interesting situations – shoot the hell out of them."

(Constantine Manos)

Street Colours V

“If you photograph as dream, a poem or music. Your photos will brighten up your soul."
