Inner City Blues : The book!

“For our imagination of rebels to a provincial society, too disposed to the siestas and to the idylls in the midst of the silence of nature, New York meant La Città (The City), a place where men had hired, without evasion or remorse, with all the courage and pertinacity, the task of engraving and transform the torpid face of the world to the forefront.” 

Elio Vittorini


For my series I used analog instead of digital because I wanted to explore the city of New York and its nocturnal atmosphere with a different approach; not only for the cinematic look, but because my childhood dream was to shoot in these streets. 

I took my camera, my films and with Marvin Gaye in my ears I made this silent movie: Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) 


Through my work I aim to achieve an urban landscape, where the “moment” of the street photography and the environment are part of the same vision. 

Hi folks!

With this pandemic crisis and the total absence of government support for the art and the artists, I need your help! I was editing my work Inner City Blues since last year and - finally - the layout of the dummy is finished!

I’m using this platform to realize my dream: my first photo book! I just can’t wait to see the result in my hands. This project is is the result of my artist residence in New York City.  2018, over 30 analog pictures. 

Basically I don’t like crowdfunding campaign, but due the harsh time I’m living I can’t afford the the costs of production. I have great respect for some publishers and editors out there, but to be honest I believe a certain “self-publishing” can be more creative and powerful in a certain way.

I’m looking forward to see you soon!
