street photographers based in spania.

Alvaro Vegazo
I’m Álvaro Vegazo, from Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain and I’m a Civil Engineer. Photography is my passion, especially I like Street and Documentary Photography. I started to photograph when I was 15 years old, but nothing serious until 2013. Initially, I got interested in Documentary photography, and while I was taking photos in this process, I had the imperative necessity to take photos continually. It was when I discovered that the streets are the perfect choice for me. I love to capture life on streets.

About The Collection

The variety of topics in street photography is so wide that I like to be open to each one of them. Although my beginnings were taking shadows and backlights, little by little I was discovering juxtapositions, connections, play of primary and complementary colors and the combination of layers. All this added to aspects such as humor, surrealism, etc. and always trying to take care of the composition, for me a fundamental factor in street photography.

Juan Galan
I am a Spanish street and documentary photographer currently based in Bari, Italy. I attended photography classes independently at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Salamanca, as well as film photography at the University of New York, while finishing a degree in psychology. Recently, I started to document the lifestyle of the local people in Southern Italy, with a strong focus on composition, contrast, subjectivity, and people’s expressions.

About The Collection

Eat, Pray, and Love
There is something about the Mediterranean cultures that has always fascinated me, whether it is Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, or Italy. There is a simplicity in the lifestyle, the enormous cultural diversity in their history, the optimism of their people, the enjoyment of contemplation, the family values and the closeness, the philosophical and humanistic approach of their societies.
Eat, Pray and Love is the title of a movie, but in southern Italy —in the Puglia region to be precise— seems to be emblematic of its cultural identity. Eat a good plate of local cuisine, Pray on Sundays, and Love surrounded by romantic spots. One might say that the Italians keep this territory a secret because of its authenticity. It ranges from the countryside to the sea, from the sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea to the rugged coast of the Adriatic, where the octopus is enjoyed raw and fresh fish is served without dressing.
This photo-essay addresses the core values of people from Puglia. It is an approach of their life-style, traditions, social life, neighborhood business, close relationships, etc. A set of values that shake your spirit to make you live passionately and humanly, very distinguish within Mediterranean cultures, where luxury is the simplicity of everyday life.

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.
