Street Photography nominee

Vivimos en un mundo hiperconectado (redes sociales, medios de comunicación, etc) donde el exceso de información paradójicamente nos conduce a una desconexión con nosotros mismo y los demás, cada vez mas alejados de lo que somos. Hoy, más que nunca, es necesario desconectar para conectar. En la fotografía, la nieve actúa como espacio negativo ayudada de la sobreexposición y la altura para acentuar esta idea de soledad y vacío.

Raimundo Manuel Chacón was born in Murcia (Spain) in 1981. He has a degree in History from the University of Murcia. In 2010 he moved to Madrid and came into contact with street photography. He buys his first camera and goes out to photograph the streets of his neighborhood, Arganzuela. Rai Malatesta, this is his alter ego, he enjoys capturing unrepeatable moments through his camera, mingling with the people of the city and going unnoticed. Silhouettes, juxtapositions, low-light spaces and everyday scenes are part of the scenes he photographs.
