Highlights November 2022
This month:
Taking pictures in Cuautepec is risky. But it is exciting to find scenes like this. A street photographer can only be thankful for the great harvest.
The street portrait is always a great test. I always try to have a vision. I think I raise question marks. And I don't make you comfortable.
It seems we have an agreement. But no: Snoopy goes where he wants.
I'm a fucking boss. Finding myself in such a place for the first time and taking a shot like this, where form and content find perfect conjunction is not something for everyone. Three frames inside one. Yes, I am a fuckin’ boss.
I like how I handled this scene. For the first time in the place with all my senses more alert I was able to capture the essence of the place, one of my main goals whenever I take pictures.
There are portraits that come out despite not being portraits but "stolen" shots. As in the case of this photo.
I have already expressed myself on the masks in one of the last highlights.One of the most detestable and unsightly things on the planet. A pant in the face that disturbs and erases the expression and therefore the identity of the people. With that said I think with this photo I achieved to make a good photograph, which among other things highlights precisely said anti-aestheticity.
A blurry photo and therefore far from perfect. But the man's posture is the photo.
My return to black and white in a photo of an urban landscape that features typical elements of my vision: the pole, the portrait crop, reflections and above all a disarming silence.
A seemingly simple photo but no. And it is already document.
I suffer from vertigo and this photograph is a huge effort for me. Because my vertigo is also empathic. A crafty shot, anyway.
Notes
An intense month, perhaps a little less than October, but I still gave enough. An intimately portrait month. Where I feel I have expressed even more distinctly my propensity for portraiture, even at a latent level.
