Here
you will find a selection of some of the author's original
images sorted by galleries. The first one, COLLECTIONS , includes 14 additional galleries: :
ACIDFLOR is
a digital retouching demo clearly influenced by pop art.
FACTORIES The lens points at different industrial facilities in
the country. Some of them are in a deep state of decay
as they have been abandoned. The reversal in the chemical
procedures for developing the film gives a very peculiar
shade to every picture, which is not digitally retouched
except for its brightness and contrast.
SAL-EROS plays at turning such a simple thing as a saltcellar
into a unique sensual piece, by emphasizing its lines
and volumes through lighting and shade effects.
ESPECTÁCULO includes four extra galleries, namely:
CIRCO
Y FERIA make up a fantasy
world where the camera is wrapped in lights, colours and
movements. This time in the Chinese National Circus.
CAYETANO is a young apprentice bullfighter, son of a matador,
introduced in bullrings at an early age. In a summer
afternoon, terribly hot, the sun is a prevalent feature
of bullfighting, the ‘fiesta
nacional'.
LISÍSTRATA portrays the
main cast of prima donnas and actresses that performed
in the Nave de Sagunto the Aristophanes play in Carles
Santos version in June 2003.
WOYZECK was a coproduction of the
Auditori de Torrent, Cucurucú Teatre and the Comédie
de Béthune based on Georg Büchner's original
play.
GUGGENHEIM explores this fascinating
building created by the architect Frank O. Gehry. Its bold
design and strong personality is filled with Bilbao's special
light.
ALBUFERA One of the most magical
natural places in terms of behaviour of the mediterranean
light. It is a stunningly beautiful place seriously threatened
by the expansion of the city of Valencia to the south.
CUBA , particularly Havana, are endangered territories,
where people cling to life as the most precious gift.
The eye, the camera, does not get a moment's rest.
BOXEO , a feature from 1993 showing some fights of the European
Super Welter, Light and Heavy Weight Championship held
in Sueca, a town near Valencia.
ESCOLA was a proposal for an exhibition
at the Valencia Arts and Crafts School. A walk through
it sometimes reveals a lot of surprises. The original copy
was digitally enlarged from the contact sheet with a laser
photocopier that alters the chroma at will.
FLORES , a tribute to the late American photographer Robert
Mapplethorpe, which was a big expert in floral still
lives. The series is an applied study of different light
schemes.
METRO shows a city about to enter
the night, at its magical moment. This city is Valencia,
totally scratched with ditches because of the infrastructure
works under way of the underground, tunnels, pavements,
bridges... The takes were made with a Lubitel, a Russian
made fully plastic camera, in a 6x6 negative of very low
sensitivity, 50 ISO, which gives a sharp colour saturation.
ONCE shows ticket street vendors,
a group which is almost dying out. They work on a daily
basis in not very desirable conditions. This series was
manually treated with chemical procedures and printed in
gray paper.
The following buttons give
access to a black and white PORTRAIT gallery
of different characters. Another one contains FASHION pictures.
We go on to ILLUSTRATED
FEATURE , a must for any photographer, where snapshot
becomes most important. Another recurrent side is LANDSCAPE ,
clearly urban in this case. Finally, there is a link to the
author's most personal CREATION with some examples of digital
retouching and textures.
