African Faces (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Thousands of miles that crosses the most pure continent of the world and there is always a pair of eyes watching. But these looks are not scary ones, they confort you, they are pure and innocent, happy and childish, strong and impenetrable, they are Africa.
I took this picture with a Fuji GS645S, black and white film.
AUTHOR
Few years ago i realize that i got my first camera when I was almost 8 years old.
I didn´t have a reason for shooting and i didn´t know why i was doing it, it just happen. I went to the University for studying business and after i got my degree, i realize that something creative was missing in my life. So i took Luis Poirot b&w analog workshop, were i realize the importance of photography and it effect in me. After that i continue taking photos for family and for traveling, mostly digital, but was not before i went to India for the first time when i realize that i needed to go deeper, i needed to go back to what i learned with Poirot. So next year i started working with a medium format analog camera and everything felt balance, it felt like taking pictures for the first time.
