When Photography Has the Grit of the Street
Streets have a story to tell – sometimes hushed, sometimes high-voltage. Portrait photographer Eolo Perfido captures all these stories with his Leica Q3: the fleeting encounters, the hidden beauty and the poetry of everyday life. His photography is fuelled by intuition, empathy and a keen sense for capturing the decisive moment between light and shadow – just before the window of opportunity closes.
“I sling my camera over my shoulder and head out, eager to rediscover my surroundings.”

Poetry Shaped by Light and the Street
Street photography is about so much more than just capturing moments. It’s like silent poetry structured by light and shadow. Movements, fleeting glances and subtle gestures compose visual verses that the photographer reveals through their lens. The picture frame becomes a stage where unexpected relationships and underlying narratives come to life.
Humanity at the Heart
Authentic street portraits arise from empathy, intimacy and an instinct for the perfect moment. Engaging with people on the street calls for empathy, communicative finesse and an exacting technique. The Leica Q3 and 28 mm Summilux lens let you capture people and places in all their authenticity, regardless of the lighting conditions.
No Need to Travel
Motifs are everywhere – often right on your doorstep. Eolo Perfido doesn’t need to roam the world to see far and wide. His photos cast fresh light on familiar aspects, uncovering the overlooked narratives woven into everyday life.
“The street and its constantly changing nature reveal beauty just before it appears. A street photographer remains unseen yet unmistakably present, perpetually poised between arriving too soon and reacting too late.”
