Metropolitan Portraits (RM) began in April 2010 as an experimental street photography project, documenting people passing by and archiving the results, divided into their respective photo sessions. After the first year, the research evolved, increasingly focusing on the relationship between individuals and their surroundings, entering increasingly interdisciplinary fields, intersecting with new fields such as urban planning, architecture, ethnography, and anthropology. From the outset, RM has pursued a question: "Are we all treatable equally?" Through this research, the project seeks to find a philosophical answer to the enormous social differences. The photographic dogma (RM format) intrinsic to the project will allow a broader vision to emerge, the fruit of a consistent application of qualitative methodology.
