Travel

Trips can be merely touristic but they should always be a really stimulating theme for the photographer. When we travel, we always escape our routine and stress of everyday life. This is why the photographer can display a more open and observant attitude towards the environment. The novelty of what surrounds him should also make him/her more receptive and analytical when it comes to details, elements, character, landscapes, etc.

The photographer has to try not to let escape all the details that have caught his/her attention. After an exhaustive selection, there is no doubt that he/she will go back home with a great collection of shocking images, which will certainly be different from the pictures of other photographers who have travelled with him. This is due to the subjective view of each of us, which is inherent to the professional’s personality, creativity and observation capacity of the environment.

Views of Oman

After a trip to a relatively unknown country in the Middle East such as Oman, the author felt attracted by many aspects of this country but, especially by the people, the men, the women, the children and the looks.

Thus, almost without realizing it, upon returning from her trip and reviewing the multitude of images she had captured, she began to be aware that apart from many photographs of landscapes, architecture, everyday aspects of the country, street photos, etc., there was a group of photographs that stood out powerfully from the whole and were the multiple portraits that she had captured with her camera, portraits that tried to delve into the personality of each improvised model since, curiously, it was easy to portray people, since they rarely opposed being observed and immortalized through the viewfinder and the camera lens.

Here is the result of the careful selection of characters captured in a few days in 2023.

Guizhou, China

These images are the result of the short report made in 2017 in the province of Guizhou located in the southwest of China whose capital is Guiyang. This province is relatively poor, with the lowest GDP per capita in China, economically underdeveloped but rich in natural, environmental and cultural resources. Demographically, Guizhou is one of the most diverse provinces in China. The Miao and Yao minority groups make up more than 37% of the population.

So, the exhibition shows us small moments lived in the bosom of these small rural communities, especially among their people, very welcoming, sharing moments of their family and community life.

Morocco

I have discovered Morocco when I have travelled there in June 2009. It is a near country to Spain but they have different traditions. It is a country plenty of light and color.

Ireland

Pictures done in September 2016. I have discovered a varied country, marvelous and green. It is a country with charming people and they make you wishing to come back in order to drive on the cliffs, forests, lakes, little towns and cities. Enjoying of charming personality of Irish people.

Jinan, China

Pictures done in November 2016 while I was traveling to Jinan, China in order to receive the award “Mo-tse Photography Master Award” on the 6^th China International Photography Biennial.

Greece

Greece travel in June 2015 to the cradle of our culture. A country where the classical world and the light of the Mediterranean mix. History, the ancient world, our deepest roots are present in the streets, the stones, the people, the landscape and the light, especially the light, essential basis of photography.
