Cariocan tropical flower on Kodak film

I was having a walk through the Botanic Garden in Rio de Janeiro, when, while I stopped looking at the Corcovado in the background, this lady and her red dress jumped out from nowhere ant start walking away from me. I felt like Alice when she first saw the rabbit; grabbed my Hasselblad and, despite light was crap, I took the picture.

L'homme

A pic from the fashion shooting we made few weeks ago, taken on Kodak Portra 400.

The Green Valley

This was how it looked like the valley next to Benasque, in Spanish Pyrenees, few months ago. Looking forward to see and photograph it with snow...

The Green Bridge.

This picture was taken some time ago: I was testing the C-41 processing with Kodak Portra and Fuji Superia X-tra. I still love the way the sun, hidden behind the bridge, brightens the green fence up.

The Lady and her Self

The idea behind this  fashion shooting for Umbigo Magazine was the one of the duality of the character. The reflection in the windowpane was an unexpected opportunity we could not miss, so we lit accordingly.

Medium format fashion photography

One more pic from the fashion shooting for Umbigo Magazine shot on Kodal Portra.

Boudoir. A colour film contrasty portrait of a girl.

 

When I thought of this photograph I imagined it full of contrast: the outfit of the model with the place where she is, her attitude and posing, the gun, the orange tone of the skin with the bluish tone of the background...  It was taken on Kodak Portra 400 and home processed with C-41

Picasso's The Guitar Player in Rio de Janeiro

I don't normally make this kind of photography: I'm more into controlled-light-and-situation photography like portrait, fashion or landscape. But I was walking in Lapa, a Rio de Janeiro district, when I sow this man taking a rest in the shadow: the position of his head and shoulder reminded me of the painting by Picasso titled The Guitar Player. I couldn't help it: I took my camera and shot.

A different postcard from Barcelona

Barcelona is not only Gaudí, Las Ramblas, the narrow streets of the centre, the beach... One day a week, depending on the district you are, you can find all sort of furniture in the street, waiting for being collected by the street cleaning service or by passing byes willing to give a new use to a piece considered too old by the previous owner. This day is called dia dels trastos.
