Self-portrait in the street is a pleasure, it makes you participate in the scene shamelessly like Velázquez and El Greco in their works ¨Las Meninas¨ and ¨El entierro del Conde de Orgaz¨, with two balls, or like Alfred Hitchcock in his films, without saying anything, but being aware of everything. You can do the same, go out in one of your photographs, take part in the scene, be the number one witness of the moment, take a self-portrait, like Velázquez, with two balls.

Then came many more, the idea was given to me by my mother when she asked me angrily when she saw my street photos that I was not in any of them.
My first self-portrait in the street

Filling the frame with points of interest in a single image seems simple.
Another of my favourite self-portraits

I had to capture the movement, to divide the frame into a square, to portray myself and the city. 10 minutes and challenge achieved
This portrait was a ten-minute challenge

She looked a little tired but soon returned to her duties.

And the photographer reacted to his greeting in the same way, albeit in his clothes.
The girl who greeted the photographer

Although it says in other photos that it doesn't, I have to admit, I have always liked it.
Sometimes I like to be the centre of attention

And of course, the opening has been immediate, in fact, here I am
Self-Portrait, opening soon

The point is to try to photograph differently
The triptych, the movement and the photographer

...You'll understand why I was pretending
The lady and the man who went to sleep right behind the photographer pretending to sleep

Everyone has their own little tricks, even they do.
Police officers who didn't notice being photographed because the photographer didn't show them the camera

The best thing about photography is to go unnoticed.
The boy who walked fast so as not to greet the photographer

Another one of those ten-minute challenges where I had to confuse the viewer, get geometric shapes and get in the picture. The reflections are thanks to bringing the mobile screen closer to the camera.
Reflections on the edge of the camera

This is a phrase that has been said by many photographers, myself included.
All photographs are deceiving, mine are.
