Artist’s Statement
My work consists of a natural beauty scene, which can almost be seen as a dreamy fantasy nature, and also with a bit sense of fashion that intrigues the photograph. My aesthetic and technique can be related to the work of many out door fashion photographers especially those who shoot more of nature. It is an attempt at creating a personal vision, where the beauty of nature and clothes, which traces a naturalistic vision, mixing in with fashion concepts that can create a contrast, and in doing all of that the challenge the subjectivity of photography.
My personal objective is that creating a work that is beautiful and breath taking. Not just any ordinary beauty but a natural beauty that Mother Nature offers. That beauty and ability of breath being taken away will come from seeing the landscape in the background and also by what the models are wearing and how they are posing in the photographs.
My art is influenced by the outdoors, and recent commercials of representing Mexican culture called Bicentenario, 2010. I have dedicated my self to find similar locations that would show the different types of beauties that Mother Nature offers us.
There is mostly a pattern of sky and earth tones in my work; the purpose is to create that sky to show space and also to represent Mother Nature the green colors and our brown colors show the earthly tones of our planet. The viewer of my work will be confronted with the theme of Fashion in Nature in which will try and convince them of the awareness of our beautiful planet and the beauties it has to offer us. It is taking photographs of beautiful landscapes of Mother Nature and models in earthly tones that have become personal for me, and breath taking to the viewer.
