</div>
One of my biggest challenges when I go out on the street with my camera is being authentic, both with myself and with others. I feel like I still have quite a way to go in that regard, but well, here I go, giving it my all.

Sometimes I find myself on that fine line between keeping my distance or making myself visible to the protagonist of my photo. It's not for lack of confidence, but because I want to capture the story as faithfully as possible. Other times, I understand that getting closer completely changes the scene and gives it another meaning.

I’ve noticed that keeping my distance makes me more creative; it allows me to step back and embrace more ideas. However, that’s not always the case. The challenge lies in finding the right moment.

There are two elements I always try to involve in my photos: the historical theme and nature, specifically birds. It's something I'm truly passionate about; my background as a photographer is in bird photography, so it feels like coming home.

And so, I keep learning through mistakes (and successes), drawing inspiration from those who have been in this field longer and trying to find my own voice in street photography. That’s my proposal for today; I hope you liked it, and I’ll read your comments. See you soon, friends.

Uno de mis mayores retos cuando salgo a la calle con la cámara es ser auténtico, conmigo y con los demás. Siento que todavía me falta bastante camino por recorrer en ese sentido, pero bueno, allá voy, echándole ganas.

A veces me encuentro en esa delgada línea entre mantener la distancia o hacerme visible al protagonista de mi foto. No es por falta de confianza, sino porque  quiero captar la historia de la manera más fiel posible. Otras veces entiendo que acercarme cambia por completo la escena y le da otro significado.

He notado que mantener la distancia me hace ser más creativo, me permite abstraerme y abarcar más ideas. Ahora, no siempre es así. La disyuntiva es dar con el momento propicio. 

Hay dos elementos que siempre trato de involucrar en mis fotos: el tema histórico y la naturaleza, específicamente las aves.  Realmente me apasiona, mi formación como fotógrafo es en la fotografía de aves, por eso es como volver a casa.

Y así voy aprendiendo a base de errores (y aciertos), nutriéndome de los que llevan más tiempo en esto y tratando de encontrar mi propia voz en la fotografía callejera. Hasta aquí mi propuesta de hoy, espero que les haya gustado y les leo en los comentarios. Hasta pronto amigos.
