3 new galleries on portfolio
I added 3 galleries telling important parts of my career.
This work involved re-editing the images, and although quite tiring it allowed me to travel visually at the time I took the photos, and that was enjoyable. I created the selections no longer thinking about genre demarcations but rather about telling myself while I was living the experience. So here I also left room for meetings with other photographers, emotions, memories and portraits, between street photography and existential landscape.
In this way I offer several unpublished images.
A separate note deserves People of Chapultepec, the work that Leica commissioned me in 2013. I have already proposed several versions, but returning to pick it up again, I gave it a decidedly more oriented connotation to the portrait set. I feel that, by stripping it to the bone, this work was essentially a documentary portrait of the people who populate the huge park in Mexico City. Awork that I was forced to carry out with very little time available due to the tight deadlines, especially due to the delay of customs in freeing the Leica with which I was called to work, Today I feel that from any Leica camera I would come up with a decidedly more mature and aware product both on a technical and content level, therefore better.
Despite everything, however, I believe it is important to include it in the portfolio page because it represents a commissioned work that Leica does not entrust to the first comer. Not all photographers can boast the honor of having worked on commission and having been published worldwide in one of their catalogs. Although on a human level I have certainly lived through more touching and engaging stories the work in the park was also important for the continuation as a commercial photographer.
Without adding any other words, here are the three galleries:
Let me know what is your favorite gallery and why!
