Coming Back......

I am back from a year out of this blog. I have been working on different photographic projects which I ll be downloading little by little. Also I have been in the transition of leaving behind school period and just dedicating more time as a professional photographer which I believe has been a hard process of enjoying university and now taking new responsibilities in life. I think the economic factor has influenced a lot in this transition cause finding a job related with my major has been tough.
Either way since am not part of an institution where I can demonstrate my knowledge and develop my aptitudes, I have been working by my own, shooting what attracts my attention as well as more commercials projects like weddings, actor studios, property sale and so on.

Holocaust Memorial visit

Through these pictures, I wanted to portray my viewpoint about this memorial dedicated to the Jews who suffered the Holocaust in the WW II. This horrible event of the world history has always affected sentimentally others due to the genocide committed by Nazis during the war invasions. With this slideshow, I want to keep alive the suffered faces and bodies made by the sculptor and architect Kenneth Treister who wanted to memorialize the victims. Also I portrayed different Jews symbols such as the star of David with the black letters "Jude" and areas also created by Treister such as the "Arbor of History", “The Sculpture of Love and Anguish", and "The Lonely Path" from where you can hear the voices of Israeli children singing songs dedicated to the Holocaust . Definitely, the visit to this memorial provokes mixed emotions such as sadness, hope, desperation, and anguish for the loss of those people.

Mini Series " What is Left"

What is left is the title for this mini-series where I took pictures in the Coral Castle in Miami, Florida. I just portrayed the vestiges of the man named Edward Leedskalnin who built this fabulous castle for his sweet sixteen love. Through my pictures, I wanted to show once again my attraction for the ugly and textured found objects used by this excellent architect. I played again with the magic of black and white, which emphasized the rough texture of the tools, and I combined it with some color antique appearance photographs, which give at the same time a monochromatic look to the ambiance.
