Spain and France

Shot mostly in Madrid, probably my favourite European City. Unlike London, where the people that you see don’t live there and have no character anyway, Madridilenos actually live in their city and actually look interesting. Many of these shots were taken with a 45mm f 1.8 Olympus lens, which is a a 90 mm full frame equivalent. It’s been part of my journey to the magnificent 75mm f-18 which is my current favourite Street portrait lens.

Photographs in this album include: The wolf, The eye, The street madonna, Malasna portraits, I give you take, Madrid Geezers, The corridor, Gymnastique suédoise, Boules, and more.
