I walked through downtown São Tome with my bags full of film and the camera as my navigation, taking portraits in the streets. Chango was standing casually on the corner and I was immediately struck by his statue-like appearance and his motorcycle, called Swagger. His clothes and the color of the background, his machine, the color and structure of the grill behind him - everything was right and harmonious. I should try to capture this candid moment, I thought. He remained in this position, I kneeled down and took the shot. After the photo we talked and continued to meet.
Shot with Kodak Portra 800 and the Leica M6 from 1984
Thank you
