Daniel Sorza has become one of the most quietly powerful storytellers on my feed. 

A Filipino street photographer living in Milan, he spends his days walking the city with a camera, a small printer, and a pocket‑sized frame.

His subjects are the people most of us overlook: local police, carabinieri, and members of the armed forces simply going about their work. His process is disarmingly simple. 

He photographs them from a distance, capturing unguarded moments — a shared laugh, a pause between tasks, a glance across a street. Then, within minutes, he hands them a framed print of that exact moment. 

No fanfare. No sales pitch. Just a gift.

What happens next is the real story. These men and women, so used to being symbols of authority, suddenly see themselves as human again. 

Their reactions — surprise, softness, pride — reveal how rarely they’re acknowledged as individuals. One candid photograph becomes a mirror they didn’t know they needed. 

Sorza’s work is a reminder that photography isn’t just about images. 

It’s about what those images say to people, and how a simple "I saw you" can hit so hard at a time when so many people feel unseen.
