Greetings to all black and white community. 👋👋

Photographing people on the street is like capturing fragments of a film without a script. There are no poses or second attempts; only that unrepeatable instant in which an expression, a gesture or a look tells more than a thousand words. I am fascinated by how each face carries its own story, even if I never get to know it. It's not about who they are or where they come from, but what they convey in that brief encounter frozen in black and white.

Sometimes the best portrait comes from the one who doesn't know they are being photographed. Those authentic moments, when people just are, are the ones that are most valuable to me. A distracted smile, a lost look or the simple act of walking can become something powerful. I'm not looking for perfection; I'm looking for life. And on the streets, each person is a unique character, even if I never know they were part of my story.

I hope you enjoy this little series. I read to you.

[Español]

Fotografiar personas en la calle es como capturar fragmentos de una película sin guion. No hay poses ni segundos intentos; solo ese instante irrepetible en el que una expresión, un gesto o una mirada cuentan más que mil palabras. Me fascina cómo cada rostro lleva su propia historia, aunque nunca la llegue a conocer. No se trata de quiénes son ni de dónde vienen, sino de lo que transmiten en ese breve encuentro congelado en blanco y negro.

A veces, el mejor retrato viene de quien no sabe que está siendo fotografiado. Esos momentos auténticos, cuando la gente simplemente es, son los que más valor tienen para mí. Una sonrisa distraída, una mirada perdida o el simple acto de caminar pueden convertirse en algo poderoso. No busco perfección; busco vida. Y en las calles, cada persona es un personaje único, aunque nunca sepa que formó parte de mi historia.

Espero les guste esta pequeña serie. Los leo.
