photography
My passion for photography comes from when I was very young, by the time that my father, most certainly not very willingly, lend me his camera for the first time. I went out with a bunch of lenses and filters ready to capture everything that I came across.
From the first photos I took not many came through, but I have keep one thing that was even more important than any photo, the experience... one of looking at the world through the camera lenses.
I have been living with photography ever since, even if sometimes latent, it´s always there when I looks at something. A great deal of my knowledge came from my father´s lessons and from all the photo magazines he made me read.
Always eager to experience new ideas, my portfolio is as broad as my thirst for photography. Continuingly capturing photos either in digital or film my focus is always on the experience.
Having recently started an online photo magazine only brought me closer to my passion and has widen even more my inspirational scope.
Photography is not as much an expression as it is a way of living and way of finding beauty in the common details.
