1- Are you a professional photographer? No, I’m not.
2- Why street photography? Street Photography allows me to go out without ties, interact with people and to some extent be part of the scene that you are capturing as a luxury observer. On the other hand, there is the uncertainty of not knowing what you are going to find and the adrenaline it generates. I believe that it is a form of photography that when you try it and if you like it, you will not abandon it.
3- How would you describe your photography style? The truth is that I do not know how to describe myself, I prefer that others do it in a more objective way. What I do know is that I want to continue evolving, looking for my path, as I have done so far.
4- What makes a good picture from your point of view? What do you look for in an image? That they show something different from every day, that surprises me, that is out of the ordinary even though it is sometimes difficult to find it. Apart from seeing what surrounds us, we have to make the effort to look at what surrounds us. There we have the mission to find those moments and those people who make a difference.
5- How do you educate yourself to take better photos? Going out as much as possible on the street and taking photos. I believe that practice, as in any aspect of our life, is essential to improve and evolve in our way of capturing what surrounds us. You always have to keep trying and enjoy the process. On the other hand, it is also important to be able to observe the work of the classics and that of many other colleagues. They are a source of inspiration.
6- Where in the world would you most like to photograph? Anywhere I can do it. You never know where you can find that magical moment to photograph. Who knows if that moment is around the corner from your house...I simply try to enjoy every moment when I can enjoy this great passion.
7- Who would you most like to photograph and what kind of pictures do you avoid shooting?
I have no predilection for photographing anyone in particular. I like to go out with my camera and make it the street that surprises me. I avoid shooting people who live on the street and are having a hard time. I think it's unnecessary, it doesn't bring anything from my point of view.
8- Have you been confronted by someone whose photo you took on the street? What would be your advice on how to avoid confrontation when doing Street Photography?
I've never had a problem with anyone. The most important advice I can give is to be respectful. On the other hand, I photograph naturally, not hiding the camera. If someone asks me for explanations, I kindly explain what I'm doing, I show them my website in the mobile browser and that is usually enough. In the last case, if you don't want to be photographed and you ask me, I delete the photo. On the other hand, one thing that I have realized is that when you are standing in a place for a while photographing, people stop noticing you, you become invisible.
9- Your favourite street image of your own to date and why? I think my favorite image is yet to come.
10- Your favourite piece of equipment? My favourite piece of equipment is always the one I carry with me. Any device that allows me to photograph is fine.
11- What are your favourite settings (Aperture. Shutter Speed, ISO, White Balance, Focus, Manual/Auto, Image Format – RAW/JPEG) for Street Photography and why? I always have the camera set to aperture priority, ISO auto, shutter speed minimum 1/125, automatic white balance, automatic focus or using the hyperfocal distance and always in RAW format to have as much information as possible about the photograph. The reason why I use these settings is that it allows me to focus on what is really important which is composition and for that I need speed and these settings provide it for me. Situations pass quickly and if you do not focus your attention on what is important in the end you run out of shot.
12- Is photography art? Absolutely.
13-Black And White or Colour? Both of them.
14-What are your thoughts on editing? That you have to use it just enough.
