ABOUT ME: Wandering while observing

" It's amazing how many secrets can be concealed in a simple walk. Hidden in the every day, beauty appears for an instant as words whispered in the din of the noise of the city. Street photography is not only form, but delicate visual poetry. Its words are made of shadows, movements, looks and connections hinted by that geometric deception we call framing.

The street and its continuous transformation become the place where an observer can find beauty right before it manifests itself. The gaze always turned toward what's about to happen, the street photographer is invisible yet present, teetering on the edge between too early and too late."

My name is Eolo Perfido I'm an italian street photographer based in Rome and I've been shooting Street Photography for more than 20 years. I always believed in Street Photography as a powerful tool for growth and one of the finest experience in my life.

Being a Street Photographer is an attitude, is about living the moment, accepting failures. Its my personal zen.

Leica Ambassador between 2013 and 2018, today I’m a Leica Certified Photographer and Leica Akademie instructor.

My Photography has been exhibited in several museums and galleries such as the Leica Galerie in Milan, due piani gallery in Pordenone, Arsenali Fotografici in Verona, Janet Costa Gallery in Recife (Brazil) and the Manege Central Exhibition Hall in S.Petersburg (Russia).
