Monserrat Orallo Alvarez
Born in Spain, living in Scotland. Monserrat Orallo has always had a strong attraction to what people do when walking down the street because she thinks these are the moments when there are no distractions from being yourself and you are simply living in the moment. Her interest in photography started when she was 12, her older sister bought a camera and she used it whenever she had the Opportunities.In 2011, She decided to take photography seriously so she went to College. On the first day of class her teacher gave her a camera and a roll of 36 frames and told her to go into the street to take photographs for the next couple of hours. When she returned, most of her pictures were of people that she had encountered that day and she discovered that photography could be a medium to reflect these brief moments of observation.

About The Collection

I wander the street looking for moments of our daily life, the moments that may otherwise go unseen. In these moments I like to explore our ideas of beauty and ugliness, and our perception of what is common and what is unusual. I look for the fleeting moments of social interaction and human behaviour.

About The Collection

It is difficult to explain how all these images connect to each other, but I do not like to stick to any particular style of photography… I just grab my camera, a pair of good sneakers, and I wander around the streets seeking for a way to look at banal things differently.

Angel Pasos
My name is Angel Pasos. I’m an amateur photographer based in Madrid and co-founder of Urban Disorder, a photography collective.
Passionate about photography, I spend so much time in the street, that sometimes I think I’m more of a vagabond than a photographer.
Self-taught, I mainly learn from my friends and from analyzing “the classics”. At times I would like to be like Bruce Davidson and others like Alex Webb, but when I see their pictures, I realize that I will have achieved enough if one day I just look like myself. Meanwhile, I take pictures because I can’t stop taking them.
