Summertime

It's a Street Photography that I took as usual in Candid mode. The ice cream van with its colors was a very attractive background and I waited (maybe 1 hour) in the same spot as the right actors arrived. A lot of people passed by until this group of young people arrived. They were moving in front of the van, and it was difficult to make a picture where the figures weren't overlapping. It was important to have several planes giving three-dimensionality to the image. But also important was the story that the posture of the different characters suggests. A photo is so much better when both the form and the content are equally good. I fired dozens of shots but only one met these requirements. A story with vibrations of summer flavors and colors, youth, freshness and happiness.

Smiles, faces, dog and a strawberry

With framing I like to isolate and connect people. Smiles, expressions and other elements when related to each other can trigger emotions. Then the image gains a special vibration and/or a possible story.

Empty Space

Yesterday I found an empty store. It occupied an entire ground floor between two streets and the warm late afternoon light entered through the doors facing west. The blue of the sky and the houses behind me were reflected in the glass of the window in front of me, as well as the reflections of cars and people passing by and coming in and out of the empty space of the store, transforming it into a surreal scene. Yesterday I searched, observed and found another street miracle.
