20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Postcards from Miami

As a street photographer, my first concern when moving from NYC to Miami, was: "There is no street life here! This place is built for cars..." But slowly, and out of need (photography is my therapy), I started discovering clusters, corners, and spots of city life. After a long exploration of these places, I decided to start a particular project, at least for Miami: A film archive of Street Photography (All of these pictures were taken with different 35mm film cameras) With my work, I try to achieve the juxtaposition between urban and human elements. I call it an urban collage. This picture represents this idea, I love when it challenges the viewer to look twice (or three times? ;)) trying to understand the visual puzzle
