"Faces and Lives: Stories Captured on the Street. / #monomad challenge / [ING/ESP]


The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.


Best regards, black and white community.

Photographing strangers on the street is, in my opinion, a bit strange. Something that seemed unheard of a few years ago, until I discovered the true pleasure of street photography and started to reflect on the matter. Most of the people I portray I have no idea who they are, where they go or what they do for a living. But today I stopped to dig a little into their lives.

For example, the first photo is of a very animal-friendly lady who feeds stray dogs in Old Havana. I also talked with the driver, with the boy who was waiting for his girlfriend and with the old parking attendant who patiently waits to be paid for his work. Anyway, all absorbed in their lives. 💛

I hope you like this series of street photography, I'll read you in the comments!

Saludos cordiales, comunidad blanco y negro.

Fotografiar desconocidos en la calle es, en mi opinión, un poco extraño. Algo que hace unos años me parecía inaudito, hasta que descubrí el verdadero placer de la fotografía callejera y empecé a reflexionar sobre el asunto. La mayoría de las personas que retrato no tengo ni idea de quiénes son, a dónde van o qué hacen para vivir. Pero hoy me detuve a indagar un poco en sus vidas.

Por ejemplo, la primera foto es de una señora muy amable con los animales, que alimenta a los perros callejeros de La Habana Vieja. También hablé con el cochero, con el muchacho que esperaba a su novia y con el viejo parqueador que, paciente, aguarda a que le paguen por su trabajo. En fin, todos absortos en sus vidas. 💛

Espero que les guste esta serie de fotografías callejeras. ¡Los leo en los comentarios!

The truth is that it is strange to have many photographs of people you do not know or maybe you will never meet them and they in many cases do not know that they are portrayed, but that is the magic of photography in capturing the spontaneity of the street.

I consider it a bit bizarre but I love it. I think as photographers we have a duty to record the current reality. Because it changes so fast and things get lost.
