If I had to name three important aspects of my career that street photography has given me, they would be the following: empathy, observation, and photographic vision. |
Si tuviera que mencionar tres aspectos importantes de mi carrera que me ha aportado la fotografía callejera, serían los siguientes: empatía, observación y visión fotográfica. |

|
Empathy is essential in this practice: you have to connect with people—not just be a spectator, but become part of the social dynamics unfolding on the streets. |
La empatía es fundamental en este ejercicio: hay que llegar a la gente, no ser un espectador, sino formar parte de la dinámica social que se desarrolla en las calles. |


|
There are more photos I don’t take than those I bring home, and often the best ones are the ones I didn’t take—but that will remain etched in my memory. |
Son más las fotos que no hago que las que me llevo a casa y, muchas veces, las mejores son aquellas que no hice, pero que quedarán grabadas en mi memoria. |


|
The power of observation is crucial: you have to sit back and decipher what’s happening around you—the context. |
El poder de la observación es crucial: hay que sentarse y descifrar qué sucede a tu alrededor, el contexto. |

|
Ultimately, as a result of these three elements, my photographic vision—which is so essential—is honed, and I acquire skills that aren’t taught in schools, but are only discovered by being out on the street. |
Al final, como producto de estos tres elementos, se entrena mi visión fotográfica, tan fundamental, y se adquieren habilidades que no enseñan en las escuelas, que solo se descubren estando en la calle. |
