STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
Street photography is the art of capturing unposed, candid moments in public spaces — the visual hunt for the extraordinary hidden inside the ordinary.
These are the images I collect walking the streets of Barcelona and other cities I have visited: a reflected face in a shop window, two strangers caught in the same frame by accident, the geometry of a shadow at noon. Occasionally, cities like New York, London or Istanbul add their own light to the collection.
I shoot candid, I shoot fast, and I rarely ask permission. That is the only way to catch what is real.

Half of these photographs took less than a second to make — and years of walking to be ready for. That is the deal street photography offers: you cannot plan the moment, you can only be there when it happens. The city writes the script; the camera just has to keep up.

Stories from the Streets
Every photo here has a story behind it. On the blog we walk you through the places and moments that shaped them, from the portraits of El Born to our Barcelona in black and white series.
