Thousands of
micro-experiences are
scattered throughout
public spaces, coming and
going in the lives of many
inhabitants all at once.
To many, all of this comes
across as a lot of noise and
movement, but a skilled
street photographer like
Marco is able to notice
and pick out the raw
personal moments that
are so easy to miss.
Marco shoots in black and
white, the perfect palette
for work as emotional
as his. We like to remind
our readers of the Ted
Grant quote as often
as possible, “When you
photograph people in
color, you photograph
their clothes. But when
you photograph people
in black and white, you
photograph their souls!”
Take away the colors
and you’re left with a
business man rising from
his bicycle seat into the
wind, a slouching street
clown on break from
performing, an old
couple raising their eyes
from their newspapers
in surprise to an offcamera development;
small moments that
are indicative of the
personalities that
produced them. Marco’s
shots are single frames
pulled from the greater
stories of these peoples’
lives.
