Black and White street photography

Rome, Forum. 2016.

Since 35mm film first appeared, and cameras became more and more portable, the notion of street photography started to become notorious to the general public thru publications in newspapers / books / essays. Most photogrhphers in the 50s/60s when 35mm cameras were readily available, photogs like HCB, Capa, etc.. they used small rangefinders cameras with 35mm and/or 50mm lenses. That's what I use when I shoot street or travel photography.

Bologna, self portrait in a bakery. 2015

Here is me, in a bakery. That is my rangefinder camera! It's a modern version of the 60 years old film camera that inspired thousands of photographers. Here is with a 35mm 1.4 lens.

Ancona, seaside. 2012

This is a 35mm camera, a Leica M6 TTL, with a (if my memory serves me good) Tri-X film.
