ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The Guru frees the body from his soul. Mediates and prays surrounded by his Gods, and becomes a sort of sacred and wise man. Varanasi, India.

AUTHOR
I am preparing a book of photography entitled “Streets of the World and their People”. I like to travel and encounter the world with its streets and its people, but the part that corresponds to my interest, my vision and philosophy of life. My photos are a look at someone's world, a journey into their space and their life; an attempt to build a story without affection, as part of a social commitment. Visual stories that intersect in the streets and in their plurality create a certain connection; a new sense. These images can be regard, a hand, a detail, a fixed temporality that captures movement, a state a vaster space.

Images that aim to reunite us with the common man, using a simple visual grammar that reveals the value of the everyday hidden life. They are the time of the people and the people in their time. Photos are the expression of my intuition, perhaps of my desires, my own synthesis of the world condensed in a moment. I hope these images arouse more suspicions than certainties in a way that is possible to speculate with them to open paths of contrasting narratives.

I like to walk around the city and photograph what spontaneously appears, but not all, a piece of landscape and the reality and the fiction that goes with it. Walk without a script to rewrite a monograph of the place with my steps, periods and images. Catch lights and shadows of the twilight that escapes little by little through the camera. Conceive an image in the span of a presence that transits. Focus on a smile, a necklace or a look. Give room to the universe in an instant and guess the mystery of the light that becomes metric.
