Welcome to my personal projects page!
As you can see, here you will find a wide variety of photographs. Each section is a mini project that I've done for myself, just for fun or as a career project.
I hope you like them :)
The main theme of this project is grief and how I have lived it this last year after two losses. These photographs are going to be very personal and intimate, where I am going to try to reflect everything I have lived through and how I have done it during this period of time.
The feeling of loss is always linked to other feelings, your head doesn't stop and on top of everything you try to process, everything intensifies. Your environment has changed, you realise that even though the person is gone, all the pain of not having them anymore is reflected in the other people who were important to them too, so you start to deal with both your emotions and those of your environment, and you need to take your time to learn to lead your life as close as possible to how it was before they left.
The main characteristic of these photographs is the understanding of an event that requires a time of adaptation, where you can go through the typical phases of grief, or generate your own phases as time goes by.
To express what I felt every time I took a photograph thinking about the two of them, dealing with the photographic technique of expression, I focused on the contrasts of warm tones, the play of light and shadow, colour, light, points of tension and composition.
As you can see, there are some key points in the photographs:
- The light is the symbolism of the people who are no longer there, where only their essence and memory remains, just like the objects. The lamp is the most used resource to represent this expressive element.
- Colour: the use of warm tones combined with contrasts and shadows reflects the emotional and familiar feeling, but using shadows denotes sadness, generating a feeling of longing.
- The order... on this point, as you well know, grief is a process of ups and downs that you cannot control at will. Every time I went home, the feeling was different depending on the stage of grief, so the photographs follow the same "order".
