Street photographer Pao Buscató has gained a reputation for finding moments that feel impossibly coincidental.
His philosophy is great advice for any creative pro:
My approach to Street Photography is very intuitive and I've always liked to let my work grow freely, without me forcing any direction or themes. It's a very open process that demands full awareness and fresh eyes, to see the ordinary things of our everyday not just for what they are, but also for what they can become, when photographed.
There is a strong sense of play in my Street Photography. It's a game for me, and the city is my playground. As we grow into adulthood we tend to lose our sense of play. We build walls to appear stronger, more serious, more adult; and so we leave behind that part of us that made us kids, the part that turned our backyard into wonderland and that tree into a fortress. And that ability to fantasize and see the ordinary through a child's eyes is an essential part of my work. Play, to me, is all about being aware of the moment, and yet totally open to whatever happens. A surprise. A discovery. An eureka moment after connecting the dots.
