JOVINO
He walked by my side talking non-stop, explaining how beautiful his land is.
He invited me to his house and then to the stable, proudly showing me his cattles and his giant roosters, which he cleaned and brushed for the photo.
In my life I had the chance to visit wonderful places and especially to meet great people.
My purpose is, and has always been, capture the feeling of what I "touch", not just the appearance of it.
Capture the essence and express the nuances of a person in just one frame showing those subtleties
that can be hard to describe in words.
Reproducing every emotion, from happiness to sadness, from fear to excitement.
Through simply showing an images, evoke an emotion in someone else, make people stop and think.
Stop them in their tracks just with a glance at an image.
Photography is a fantastic story-telling medium.
Just ask yourself what story you want to tell, and photography can get you there.

I met Señor Jovino on the Camino de Santiago, in Villaluz, a small village in Asturias, North of Spain.He walked by my side talking non-stop, explaining how beautiful his land is.
He invited me to his house and then to the stable, proudly showing me his cattles and his giant roosters, which he cleaned and brushed for the photo.
