WePhoto “The Series” Street Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. It was not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photographic work of the 10 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Since then, we have published 21 eBooks and the Special edition “Calendar 2015” and now two Calendars 2016. This new collection – The Series - is made of different eBooks, each one (or more than one if required) related to a specific photographic theme, including the artworks of several authors from Italy and abroad. This is the Third eBook of the second line of this new collection and has been dedicated to Street Photography.
We are all so excited and happy to be able to collect such beautiful images and, most of all to be able to share them with a wide audience. Spread, share, recommend everyone to download eBooks from our webpages and links below. Also make sure to leave your feedback on the eStores – 5 stars comments would be great. RATE IT!

STREET Con questo nome si definisce uno “stile fotografico” che riprende la Vita nell’ambiente. Uomini, ma anche animali, in un contesto urbano, ma anche in spiaggia, in montagna, all’interno di luoghi vari che vengono fissati con il lor o c o n t e e n u t o d i U m a n i t à e / o d i a n i m a l i t à . Eppure questo titolo “STREET”, non riesce a spiegare le mille interpretazioni possibili. Nelle immagini che seguono potrete aver una panoramica di come ogni Autore, in modo così diverso, riesce a dare corpo, strutture e luce a questo genere. STREET This name defines a "photographic style" that takes the life in an environment. Men, but also animals, in an urban environment, but also on the beach, in the mountains, in various places that are fixed with their contents of Humanity and / or animality. Yet this title "STREET"fails to explain the many possible interpretations. In the following pictures you will have an overview of how each author, so differently, manages to give shape, structure and light in this genre.

Mario Bunčuga Botticino, Italy
The passion for photography began at age of fifteen, with a “Finetta” by my Father. no Exposimeter or any other kind of automatism! at eighteen explodes toward the purchase of an used Nikon F2 Photomic. While studying psychology, I began the professional activity by purchasing an Optical Bench (Sinar P) for photography like “Still Life” in the studio. The call to military service (at that time required) interrupts that beginning career and my university studies. The Passion, after many adventures, is still continuing, with a Canon Eos 550D. I Do not focus on a particular genre, I love watching and, if attracted by some subject (minimal, landscape, street, or whatever), I shoot. I like to develop my images with Lightroom and some filters. As once in the darkroom, now I enjoy trying that particular effect that let me in, in some way, in a different world. 9

Photography is my passion and landscapes are my first love. I started taking pictures during a travel in Canada when I was 14. I’ve been attracted by the sunset on Huron Lake, then every evening I was in the water with my father’s camera. I’ve been lucky enough to live and work in cities like Venice and Rome for a few years and there my passion has grown continuously. I like every kind of photography. Shooting is something that makes me feel good. 21

I am a street photographer living in the Rotterdam area. What street photography exactly is, I cannot define. I just like photographing persons on the streets that otherwise probably won’t be noticed or will be forgotten like most of us. By going at distances of sometimes less than one foot, my subjects fill the frame completely, but still with a good sense of the surroundings they are moving around in because of the wideness of the lenses I use. The intended distortion of a fisheye lens makes that framing possible. We as humans tend to think we’re very important, but the opposite is true. Within the universe we are not that significant and that is the controversy within my frames by displaying my subjects in an unusual way. 33

Andreas Seiler Frankfurt, Germany Centuries ago I received my diploma in arts. Actually I come from painting and you guys might see it in my photos. At that time we spent many nights in the darkroom. My first good camera was an Olympus OM1. After my studies I worked for the biggest and most popular exhibitions in the world. That is why I know many of the well known photographers personally. : From Fischli & Weiss, Gerhard Richter, Bernd and Hilla Becher to Jeff Wall. Nevertheless I do not work for art anymore. Just for fun. Undemanding. Art is not that important, just open your eyes in every day life, there is enough to discover. 69

Norma
Norma Bbates Montemarciano, Italy Il mio nome è Simona Buffelli ( Norma Bbates in fb) e sono nata ad Alessano (Le). Nella vita sono un' insegnante con una grande passione per la fotografia e il viaggio. Ho cominciato a scattare nel 2005 e mi sono occupata essenzialmente di fotografia analogica e di stampa in camera oscura; in seguito sono passata alla fotografia digitale. Personalmente l' esigenza di scattare fotografie nasce dal desiderio di fermare il tempo e impedirgli di scorrere senza lasciare traccia di ciò che è stato. In secondo luogo credo che la fotografia sia un mezzo di valutazione della realtà circostante: essa non attesta solo ciò che c' è, ma ciò che l' occhio che si cela dietro all' obiettivo vede. Di conseguenza, essa è in grado di generare nuove visioni e rappresentazioni del mondo. In questo risiede il suo fascino. My name is Simona Buffelli, Norma Bbates on Facebook, borned in south of Italy I became a teacher with passion for photography and travel. I start shooting in 2005 focusing on analogic photography and darkroom print. Digital photography followed. Personally, the need of taking pictures come from my desire of stopping time and live a indelible trace of it. I also believe that photography evaluate reality the way it is plus the photographer point of view. That's why it can constantly create new visions and world representations. Here is where photography fascination lie.

MARCO MANDOLINI Pagina Facebook marcomandolini48@gmail.com
Marco
Marco Mandolini Senigallia, Italy Fotografo dalla metà degli anni 70, socio fondatore del gruppo F/7. Amo i paesaggi marini ed il centro storico della mia città. Così mi descrivono: “La sua passione per la fotografia è totalizzante. Si alza il mattino presto e compie una rilevazione di quello che ci può essere di nuovo in città, sul lungomare, in spiaggia. Se ti guarda hai l’impressione che misuri se le luci sono giuste, se hai un’espressione, un moto dell’anima, che valga la pena fissare sulla pellicola. Viaggia nel suo io, regista e psicologo, racconta le vicende di un’autoanalisi senza complicazioni, dove sono implicati gatti, paesaggi e realtà corporee che si contentano dei piaceri di una pedalata e dell’abbronzatura naturale ed esibita in oniriche peregrinazioni”. Photographer from the mid-70s, a founding member of the group F / 7. I love seascapes and the historic center of my city. So describe me: "His passion for photography is all-encompassing. He gets up early in the morning and makes a survey of what we can be back in the city, on the waterfront, at the beach. If you look you have the impression that measures if the lights are right, if you have an expression, a movement of the soul, it's worth fixing on film. He travels in his ego, director and psychologist, tells the story of a self without complications, where they are involved cats, landscapes and corporeal realities that are content of the pleasures of a ride and dell'abbronzatura natural and exhibited in dreamlike wanderings”
