The photos in the Rua Direita series were taken around 1970 in one of the busiest areas of downtown São Paulo. Lying on the ground, Andujar created an angle that magnifies the pedestrians and places them against the buildings. This framing highlights the passersby and draws their gaze to the center of the image, transforming the photographer—and by extension, the viewer—into a subject of the scene. The series exemplifies the tradition of street photography established in the United States, refined by Andujar using narrative sequence and color, which was still uncommon at the time.
