“We would like to leave a sincere testimony, like the monks of the Middle Ages, without the blackmail of money and the homologation of consumerism.“

 Members and guests of Progressive Street reside in all four corners of the world, and our professional standards are literally focused on all aspects of life, culture and politics -  from New York City to Seoul, from Kolkata to Tel Aviv, London, Berlin, Istanbul, Paris, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, Milano, and to the smallest town.

 Our strength consists in our numbers. We are many, yet connected through the virtual network. We are increasing every day, and continue to share the same ideals.

STREET – DOCUMENTARY – PHOTOJOURNALISM – NARRATIVE-ART

Progressive Street is a "gang" of international photographers looking at the other side, yes,  but in this world.  We are an Art Gallery, an Agency and a small independent Publishing House: “streets all over the World, a sight of reality, the eyes of the street.” We are a look at the Globalized World. We show the effects of globalization. Photography as ethnography, our ethos is an anthropological, sociological, and social vision.

 Our objective is to show everyday life, real life, without seeking the exceptional and without wanting purely to surprise. Today reality has become as complex as it has ever been in history. On the contrary, far from presenting reality, many photographs today are disconnected, presenting the everyday in the language of advertising or seemingly narcissistic acts. With our reporting and initiatives, we try to make people think, and think about what they are seeing; opening a new window into the scene, and maybe also showing something that people cannot see. We’re talking about small gestures caught in the most diverse situations, making people wonder what lies behind them. Photographs that remain photographs and not overly-processed computer graphics. Narrative photographs, not just great scoops. Each of these is accompanied by precise texts to identify the places, the people, and the occasion.
