Street & Urban Photography

Street & Urban
Photography
bCLPhoto is the street and
urban photography project of Cosme Lapena,
a Barcelona-based photographer with over 25 years behind the lens.
A visual diary of cities, light, reflections and the moments most people walk past without noticing — from the streets of Barcelona to New York, London, Istanbul and beyond.
Street. Urban. Travel. Architecture. Twenty-five years chasing light and decisive moments.
These are my stories. I hope some of them become yours.
