Since I´m studying in Italy, I’ve been tempted to participate in different contexts and projects. As we all know, we climb on others shoulders.
The first contest I answered was a call for photographers. The idea was around portraits and the prize was an entire scholarship for the upcoming Art Fest 2016 in Santa Fe University of Art and Design in New Mexico.
Excited about it, I checked my options and I chose to work over a photo I took almost two years ago. In fact, the original photo was not mean to be a portrait itself, but a memory of this amazing man. I didn´t want to take a new photo this time, but re-utilize an old one.
It was just amazing to work on a portrait from the opposite side of the street. It was like building a house and start its construction from the roof. I struggled with the balance of lines and shapes, shadows and lights. The cropping was my main focusing task. A lot of feedback was asked at the development.
