What I find appealing about looking through the lens


What I look through the lens
Ana Sofía Piña de los Reyes 

               Cameras have been a part of my life since I have memory. 

     Well, I could say even before, as there are some of my childhood moments, recorded on photos                   that I don´t recall.


Yeah, believe it or not, that´s one of the moments I don't remember...

I consider myself and artist, thus an art lover. Although I´m not a professional photographer, what I love about the matter is that unlike other types of art, you don't need to be a master or even practise the subject to capture a beautiful moment. It's one of the easiest and fastest ways to create art and I think anybody could be able to do so.


That's probably the worst filter I could've chosen, but I still see the magical moment I captured at the short age of 14.

Art can rise in your hands in matter of a second with just a click and that is absolutely amazing.

Nowadays humanity has reached such technological advance, that if then not anybody could be a photographer because of the resolution, now it doesn't even represent an excuse as some smartphones take pictures with better resolution than some cameras.

Photography is not only something that I find artistically beautiful, but also a very useful tool.
It's let us see history through decades without having to imagine it for ourselves and that's magical.

I also like transforming the picture. I believe that's what makes it mine and giving it my touch, even though some people cannot tell the difference, is something I feel passionate about.

I've started to put this into practice for the last semester and there were some personalities who inspired me:

SEBASTIÃO SALGADO

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 ...
