Scottish-Italian photographer Robbie McIntosh documents life on the streets of Naples by capturing random scenes from the city. Evaluate the vices and virtues of Naples, caught in the lens of a talented street photographer.
Naples is the most controversial city in Italy. It combines prosperity and poverty, modernity and old traditions. Each block in Naples is a separate village, each street is a scenery for a street show.
Nero, Lucullus, Virgil and even the German classic Johann Wolfgang Goethe lived here, who wrote: "Naples is a paradise inhabited by devils."
All this contradiction is read on the faces of people who can be encountered on the streets. This city is either loved or hated. They either fall in love with him at first sight, or remember him with irritation. But you need to see it, hear the sounds of the city, breathe in the air of the streets, so different and unpredictable, look at the blue expanse of the Gulf of Naples, hear a real Neapolitan song.
Robbie McIntosh is half Scottish and half Italian, lives in Naples, is an enthusiastic street photographer who prefers black and white photography.
Mackintosh calls his pictures pages of his own life, filled with stories of love, hate, life, death, boredom, sex, passion, empathy, chaos, chance, loneliness, despair and hope.
Probably everyone would like to walk along the streets of this legendary Italian city. See the sights and make your impression of this city. Is this place heavenly? No.
Each photo is like a little story. And not only the cities and people that the photographer caught, but also himself. Feeling the life of the city with his soul and body, he caught random pictures of people, showing their feelings and emotions in the frame.
