A text about a photographer whose subject is Buenos Aires
No es un lado B, una Buenos Aires “profunda”, lo que despliegan estas fotos, que están tan lejos de querer (de creer en) excavar como de sacar a la luz. No es la Buenos Aires “que no vemos”, la que nos vedan la pereza o los automatismos de la vida cotidiana. Ningún inconsciente (ni óptico ni urbano) en estas fotos patentes, asertivas, sin dobles fondos ni punctums. Solo eso: lo que se ve.

hidden depths
It literally means false or double bottomed as villarino points out but I don't think this works at all when referring to the qualities of a photograph. I think it is more likely to be a metaphor for hidden depths or hidden meanings within the photos.
hidden depths
1. Robust or complex aspects or characteristics that are not easily noticed or readily apparent.
2. A place or part of something that is hidden away and requires a lot of searching or prior knowledge.

"It also dealt with the magician's trick of hidden depths, the secret compartment beneath the false bottom of a box, in the life of her protagonist"
