A photograph that belongs to a series dedicated to Greek Mythology, taken over several months.

The influence of classical sculpture and baroque painting are an important part of the whole work.

I'm Diego Orlando and I seek the light in a world of shadows.
orn in San Sebastian, Spain, pictorialist photographer.

My photographic vocation is born from the tireless search for the light capable of illuminating a personal world full of shadows. A complicated, introspective, passionate and poetic journey from which I feed to interpret my most intimate universe. A path that goes hand in hand and in communion with several disciplines of Fine Arts.

My art work is not born or presented with the aim of reflecting the technical capacity currently offered by millions of megapixels. On the contrary, the "flou effect" and "mannerism" that bathe part of my photographs is a form of protest against the current academic photographic purism.
The purpose of my work is to investigate and incorporate new technologies to the traditional way of doing photography in order to create a work of art with its own identity and language. Precious, baroque photographs, with a profusion of details, full of allegories and labyrinths hidden in their shadows, fabrics and textures.
