My Reportage that winks at Street Photography was born from the desire to explore, capture, savour everyday life in the Colombian streets, full of colour smiles and traditions, often Colombia as told by TV series and various Media is seen as a dangerous country founded on drug dealing, prostitution and crime, I have tried to give a different interpretation from the usual stereotypes, being completely absorbed by the genuineness of the people I met, by their stories, letting myself be carried away by the immediacy of the sensations and emotions that this great country has given me back, day after day.
