Candid Street Photography 

Like any story, it has a principle and mine begins here.
I started as a boy with an Olympus OM-10 reflex film with a 50mm f 1.8 Zuiko lens, which I still use for a few shots, going around photographing everything that struck me or that might interest me to collect and keep those moments dear to me. After a while I switched to more recent photographic cameras first with Canon and then with my new Sony Alpha 7 MK 3.I had entered, and I am still attached to a style in which I feel comfortable with, Candid street photography. As a candid street photographer I participated in several workshops directed by the Magnum others such as meetup and other online workshops on the CreativeLive platform, attended exhibitions, modern galleries and readings of the greatest Street Photographer of our times.
Today that passion has turned into my job and I always have the pleasure of transmitting the vision of the real and the truth of the world that I see and send this perception of mine in all my photographic services.
I like to think of street photography as a unique and developing genre where each photo is a page that in turn forms a book with its own story to tell, and this story is simply the truth.
On the street is where I learn most of my photographic technique, how to choose the moment and the exact scene to frame, following the flow of life and with that in mind I shoot it in color or black and white depending on my feelings.
As a candid street photographer Telling the truth is what I want to achieve and is the only way to shoot the eternal moment.
This time I spend is more than a moment that I dedicate to myself. It is more to explore the urban environment that today surrounds us, and find the lost excitement of the everyday routine, and once found it finally immortalize forever instead of being lost in time.
Candid Street photography is where all of it began.
