Photography has been a passion all my life. I still remember the first picture that I felt proud of, when I was twelve, the picture where I wrote “I took it myself!” From that moment on, the camera has gone with me everywhere, always looking to portray moments that seemed special to me

 

I was always quite “self taught” in learning photography, nevertheless, I also took some courses to improve my technique. I still continue learning today.

 

Some time ago, I decided to dedicate myself more “professionally” to photography. In reviewing the pictures I took through the years, I realized that I had a “particular” way of looking at things. I discovered that I look at things that go unnoticed for many, things that are always there but are not “relevant”, things that are simple but still mesmerizing, things that are “small” but still overwhelming. This is how the leitmotiv that inspires my work was born: “Mirada Invisible” (Invisible Look). If I had to put it in words I would say that:

​

“There’s always something that deserves a photograph, you just have to be willing to look the other way… from a different perspective… with different eyes…”

 

I think that in photography, one of the most important things is what you choose to include in that “little rectangle” that is the camera’s viewer. It is amazing to see different people taking pictures in the same place: everyone is looking at different things; one person makes a zoom in on something that another didn’t even see. This, I believe, has to do with each person’s sensibility.

 

I don’t know exactly when a photographer can call himself “an artist”. Nevertheless, I think that in the end, being an artist (in whatever discipline), means to be able to translate that sensibility in a piece of work and share it with others.  

 

I am sure that a lot of people have taken photographs that are “little” pieces of art. It’s just that they don’t think they can call them like that.
