entry description
It seems as if black and white is not our first choice in photography, we prefer color. However, there is life beyond color. Las Artes, photograph taken in the city of Valencia (Spain) last winter. I thought about this photograph as an exercise, I knew when I was going to have the light behind my camera to avoid shadows that I did not want to change in the image processing. I planned the photo to be as real as possible, respecting the textures of the building with its defects and successes, trying to capture all the grays without reaching pure black, I made a low angle under the building and shot. I was looking for a deep message, harsh and aggressive but at the same time pure and calm.about the photographer
Born in Ciudad Real, Spain in 1963. Self-taught photography lover. I have learned from amateur and professional photographers through their YouTube channels and also through their photographic works. A photographer who has impressed me a lot, not only for her photographic work - her particular landscape - but also for her biography in a very specific historical context, has been Vivian Maier.back to gallery
