Throughout the video, each of us shared our perspective on what it means to step onto the street with a camera: how a photographer’s eye is built, what we look for in the fleeting instant of urban life, and how the act of photographing becomes both an exercise in observation and a form of collective memory. It was an honest conversation about the creative process behind every image, the challenges of shooting in public space, and the way each of us has developed our own visual language over the years.
For me, this interview was also a chance to reflect out loud on my own path — from my beginnings as a photojournalist to my current work with ghetto | Photo, where documentary photography becomes a tool for human connection and social memory in vulnerable communities across Venezuela and Latin America.
I’m grateful to the Baruta Municipality for the platform, and for recognizing the value of photographic work as part of the city’s cultural and visual fabric.

Eyes on the Street — Interview with the Baruta Municipality
In “Eyes on the Street,” a production by the Baruta Municipality (Caracas, Venezuela), I had the opportunity to take part alongside Juan Calero and Alberto Gulin in a series of interviews exploring the craft of documentary and street photography through the eyes of those of us who practice it day to day.
