MONOGRAPHS

“It is my greatest joy to spread a sense of adventure and curiosity among those who choose to discover the world with me: through my heart and lens.”

- Barbara Bernini, a.k.a. Street Spirit Photographer

I'm a lifelong traveler, restless adventurer and collector of moments. With a camera in my hands, a brand new day ahead of me and new worlds to explore, I am free. Forever in love and deeply passionate about street photography, showing the world through my heart and lens is my life's work.

In the world that’s increasingly fast, impatient and focused on instant satisfaction, there’s so much beauty and luxury in the art of slowing down and savoring photographs collected in a book.

MY MONOGRAPHS ARE A BEAUTIFUL INVITATION FOR YOU TO BECOME PART OF THE STORIES I TELL

I can’t wait for you to join me on my inspiring travels full of magical, surprising moments in amazing places that have shaped me as a person, photographer and artist.

There’s magic in black and white, and lots of charm in its naked simplicity.

LET’S WALK TOGETHER… 

CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE

Black-and-white street photography book cover titled 'SHANGHAI', by street photographer Barbara Victoria Bernini, featuring a street scene with a man riding a scooter and other pedestrians in a busy urban alleyway.

In Shanghai, life is happening right in front of your eyes, and there are thousands of stories to capture every day. It’s amazingly bittersweet, easy to hate and even easier to fall in love with. A city like no other, it is rich in textures, sounds, smells and colors. Let’s walk together…

Street photography book cover titled 'Indonesia' by street photographer Barbara Victoria Bernini, featuring a black-and-white photo of a young girl sitting on a sidewalk in an impoverished area.

Indonesia is a place for seekers. For wide-eyed wanderers who long to find themselves in the connection, ease and simplicity of the islands. The traveler who is willing to go deeper will always be lured by the magic of Indonesia and will keep coming back. And maybe, one day, stay forever. Let’s walk together…

Street photography book cover titled "Barcelona", by street photographer Barbara Victoria Bernini, featuring a woman on a bicycle at a city intersection, with buildings and people in the background.

Barcelona is a woman, amazing from sunrise to sunset. On a quiet morning. At twilight, when the shops close and the bars open. At night, when she dances her worries away. If there's ever been a city that doesn't sleep, to me it's Barcelona. And there is no other place in the world where I'd rather spend a sleepless night. Let’s walk together… 

Street photography book cover titled 'In Defiance' by street photographer Barbara Victoria Bernini, featuring a black-and-white photo of a person with a sheer, flowing fabric body leaning against a wall on an urban sidewalk.

2020 was called everything but "beautiful and poetic". Yet, despite everything, it was still a year worth living. There was still joy, and laughter, and love, and hugs, and intimacy, and sparkles of beauty and poetry in the ordinary day. Seeing it was a choice I made every day as I walked the streets of Barcelona with my camera, and the reason this project was born. Walk with me.
