'we keep this love in a photograph'

Tudela. January 2017.

Photography is essential to me for many reasons. Also I strongly believe that photography takes an important role in everyone´s life, firstly because is the best way to collect memories and revive them again. It is said that good moments should be lived twice, and this is what pictures allow us. Some will affirm that best instants can´t be captured by a camera, but our photos reveal what is important to us, in which things we focus. Through the photos we take we express ourselves and we share our personal vision of life and the world.


Alcudia, Mallorca. Agust 2014.
whenever a travel or an special moment ends, the picture remains to remind us how happy we were.

 It´s impossible to keep all our experiences in pictures but everybody loves to take pictures with their beloved ones and in the places they have been happy, so whenever they look at them again, the feelings that they have to those moments and people will come back. This is perfectly reflected in Ed Sheeran´s quote: 
'We keep this love in a photograph,
We made these memories for ourselves,
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time´s forever frozen still'.
Because, in essence, we want to live a life to remember, and we want to show what we find beautiful, and we want to be happy, but also to remind how happy we were. And this is the mission of photographs.

SEBASTIÃO SALGADO Portrait of Sebastião Salgado Sebastião Salgado  (1944) was a Brazilian    economist who took his first picture at the age  of 26.  He is one of the most respected photojournalists in the contemporary world. However, he was not expecting to walk his path following that direction. At the age of 24 he obtained a master in economics. Two years later, he got his hands on a camera and the rest is history. His work, always in black and white, has let him travel up to a 100 different countries and has been published in several books, being Genesis the most important one, and taken part in many  art exhibitions.  ¡Las fotos de @SSalgadoGenesis a pie de calle, en Murcia, hasta el 19/03! #ArteenlaCalle http://t.co/VQ0TUUaEek pic.twitter.com/dmsh3L6hoY — CaixaForum (@CaixaForum) 18 de febrero de 2015 If you haven't been lucky enough to see his work, I'll be leaving here some of his photography, and don't wo...

The Falling Man

Imagen
9.11.01 "the falling man" by Richard Drew On the terrible and disastrous day the world trade center towers fell, Richard Drew was able to capture a still moment. Putting behind the catastrophe that had just happened, he took a simple yet complex photo. A man seconds before his death, free falling into fatality and in complete control of his mind. The picture went viral, it was all over the newspapers and magazines, besides the picture of the explosion the media showed this image, the falling man. Drew knew this was an artistic masterpiece with so much more meaning behind it, yet he could not believe how perfect the shot ended. Funny story, Richard Drew did not know about the picture until later, when he saw the photo sequence. How else was he as a journalist going to express what he saw if he did not have that physical evidence, "you can't rely on your memories but you can rely on your pictures" said Josef Koudelka (1960's photographer).  With ...
