Wedding portraits
Weddings are an important moment in a marriage because they represent the ritual celebration of the first day of union that becomes socially recognized. I chose to focus on this event because the wedding is a reflection of what a social ritual or social behavior means to me: the submission of individuality and the sacrifice of identity to the rules of a group, without questioning them.
To express my feeling, I use wedding group photographs, quasi-obligatory custom that immortalizes that particular day. I photograph these photographs focusing on the bride and groom, then I work on these photographs digitally.
