Knowing myself
Photography is a process that involves us in the personal grow up
My approach:
- I prefer a photograph that doesn't scream
- I ensure that people see each other well, even when they are not in advantageous situations
- I photograph the real in front of me, without spectacularization or sensationalism
- I don't take aesthetics to extremes to impose my own style
- Priority to the spontaneous, without intervening, but it's not a dogma and every situation requires a different choice to get to the photo
- I don't impose, rather I welcome
- I photograph what interests me, without letting myself be influenced by trends
- I am mindful of the history of photography and I refer to it
- Cameras are "appliances" most of the time that only come to life when I use them
- I am a visual recorder of the atmosphere
- I do not pretend to be understood
- The detail can make the difference
- Without fun it's not good
- Photography is constant assumption of responsibility
- The beating heart lies in imperfection
- I have to bleed
Things I learned of me as photographer:
- Rangefinders are not really my thing
- 35mm is my focal range
- I need to shoot every single day
- I love DSLRs more today than 10 years ago
- I can mix landscape and street
- I hate logos
- I am a metropolitan animal
