FILM PHOTOGRAPHY

 

Victor started to use 35mm films in 2013 after getting a Nikon FE from 1979. It became an absolute passion, a chance to be documenting and maping life, to capture what inspires me. He also sees this activity as good way to train his  eyes to catch details. Observe our world trying to get the best proportion and composition in the frame. Be spontaneous to catch his impressions or the comic of a situation. He likes to be surprised by the serenity of a landscape or the irony of scene.

He's now using different cameras and films. Taking time to contemplate, consider things with softness. Walking and cycling a lot, traveling a bit, to explore places, he had the chance to meet a lot of people and atmospheres, to see all kind of landscapes and lights. He enjoys to go and go back to a spot, observe the light or the crowd at different time of the day, trying to understand the place and to be captured by it. His photographs are usually trying to catch the horizontality of every places, to graphically build the pictures by using lights and colors of the scene, almost to re-create a 2D aspect in a 3D world. The complementary nature of photography and painting, has allowed him to examine some suggestion of reality in his paintings, and some abstraction in the reality of his photographs.
