State of mind!
The image was created from a styrofoam head with colored cards and used computer parts, plastics, colored papers, vegetables, peanuts, etc.
The series has more images but the idea is to encourage the viewer to express themselves personally on the themes presented.
However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analog equipment and develop the photography learning activity in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favorite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
I have participated in many contest and teach photography for students in schools in portugal.

entry description
The main idea of this short series is to address some current social issues, talking about nuclear, its use as a threat in war, we live in an era in which AI is booming with impacts that could lead to the loss of thousands of jobs, conflict of ideas around peace (in fact, in the minds of those in power, ideas are always antagonistic to peace), society feeds itself according to fashions, such as veganism. Society is very complex.The image was created from a styrofoam head with colored cards and used computer parts, plastics, colored papers, vegetables, peanuts, etc.
The series has more images but the idea is to encourage the viewer to express themselves personally on the themes presented.
about the photographer
My name is Antonio Bernardino Martins Coelho, I am from a small village in the north of Portugal, where I live. I am 40 years old, married and father of two girls. I work as an electrical engineer. A taste for painting was evident in me early on, but it was only in 2010 after a trip to Cuba that I became interested in photography, having captured a lot of images.However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analog equipment and develop the photography learning activity in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favorite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
