    December 15, 2013 /

    Using a tele (200 mm)  allowed me to take the picture but the long focal didn’t separate the planes as a 50 mm would. Truth is that – in these condition – I would hardly have been close enough to obtain the visual effect I was looking for, but the alternative was not to take the shot at all.

    Portrait of a Bailaor

    November 19, 2013 /

    It’s not the dance itself. Not the movement. Not the raised heel or arched arm. It’s the moment in between. I took this portrait during a flamenco performance—close up, no motion blur, no sweeping gesture. Just a still frame of pure tension. The bailaor had just stepped out of a phrase. His hair wet from exertion, shirt unbuttoned from heat. He was motionless, but the intensity hadn’t left. It was gathering. What struck me wasn’t the obvious theatricality. It was the way his focus seemed to cut straight through the light. His jaw tight, eyes narrowed, not toward the crowd, but somewhere inward. Flamenco isn’t about smiling through the steps.

    Meaningless

    November 9, 2013 /

    Sometimes it is easier to tell “what this is not” instead of “what this is”, as in the case of this photography. Meaningless, wrongly shot and overexposed. A good reference point to consider when thinking of my own photos as something that worth to be seen.
