The Instagram account ‘Street Photographers’ is dedicated to sharing the most amazing candid shots captured by photographers around the globe. Most of the images featured on this profile showcase scenes from the streets, featuring random people or objects that, due to being photographed at just the right moment, have a completely different look than they would have if viewed from a different angle or captured a second later.

From books to sports, music, and at some point when I was 8 years old: photography. At that time I was more into family photography and also watching my parents doing something similar to what I understand today as street photography. And added to the fact that when I was 18 years old, my parents gave me and my siblings a book with photos and phrases that we said during our 18 years of life. So, between curiosity and photography so close, at some point, it decanted into ‘Wow, how crazy is this book, I want to do it!’. But I was little and didn’t know when or if I was going to have kids… so I decided to do it with strangers in the city. A different approach. I started documenting people on the street: I would approach someone, talk to them, photograph them, and write about the stories they told me about their lives. Then that mutated over the years to do it from another perspective; with street photography, I suggest a story with the actors and actresses that appear. And I say actors, because although they are very real people, doing real things, it is still my vision at that moment of what I see, or what I think I see, and ultimately what I decide to share through the frame, and by sharing it with other viewers.” We were wondering what techniques or strategies the photographer uses to blend into the surroundings and maintain the authenticity of his subjects. The photographer shared with us: “My way of seeing it, understanding it, living it (I’m not saying it’s the right one, but the one that happens to me) is that I’m part of the scene, so sometimes I can be more part of it, sometimes less, I can be seen taking the picture, or not even notice it… but I’m there." The street photographer mentioned a specific location where he enjoys working the most: “Downtown Buenos Aires Capital has a place in me. It is a place that I have visited since I was a child with my family. And it has that of always being very different, and very familiar at the same time." Lastly, Chini added: “I would love to do some street photography in different cities… but my north is Buenos Aires. If I have to name 3 cities that I would like to visit soon: New York, Tokyo, and Mexico.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
