5 inspiring photographers in 10 pictures
Since the beginning of time creative beings have sought inspiration. Often times inspiration comes from events in our lives or things that surround us. Many people also seem to find inspiration in one another and they tend to grow and change depending on who inspires them. Over the past couple of years, I have drawn inspiration […]
To hold, to love and to let it go
I always thought reptile owners were eccentric people. Then, one sunny spring evening, a adolescent green iguana appeared outside my apartment causing every single neighbor to wow and comment, yet, none of them seemed to be excited to host the cold blooded animal until it’s owner showed up. I have hosted chickens, cats, birds, dogs, […]
“Step In” and be a character in the story
For the opening reception of Dream Chronicles at the Laguna Gallery Of Contemporary Art, I decided to create an installation. Why? I wanted the people that came to leave with an experience. I wanted to make it not only about the pictures on the walls but about how we all build and create stories in […]
Santa Barbara Botanic Garden Meadow
I arrived to the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden when the light was just sneaking in, adding color to a million flowers. The birds and bugs started to wake up slowly. I was the only one there with it all. I was there at the crack of dawn to photograph the meadow while in full bloom. […]
Writing An Artist Statement? This can help
There I was, walking down the stairs of the San Diego Arts Institute followed by my echoing steps. There were only five people in the room, one of them was Ginger Shulick Porcella (director and curator at SDAI), and she was the one giving the workshop. It was no surprise that we were so few, after […]
A Very Short Winter : Flagstaff Weekend
After seven and a half hours of driving in the dark, we arrived. We were still dressed like Southern Californians when we stepped out into the night air. The cold quickly reminded us what winter really feels like. Stephanie had a big smile on her face when she saw Alex and I, despite the fact […]
Colors, shapes and textures of Colonia del Sacramento
One more holiday season passed by being back home, my lifelong home, Uruguay. One month can seem like a long time but it goes super fast when you fill it up with family, friends, 80 degree weather, long lasting days, and countless reasons to celebrate once the sun goes down. This year some of my […]
Idea vs Finished Image
Have you ever been able to create an image that looks exactly like the one you envisioned in your head? I haven’t, not even once. Some of my finished images are a little closer to what originate it but many others are a far cry. This used to make me feel bad because I felt I […]
Mindful Memories
We plan, we pack up, we take the ride, we arrive, it is stunning, we take out our cameras and start shooting. We want to show every one later how fun and exiting our last experience was, we don’t want to lose a detail so that we can see it later on our flat […]
Cat photography tips to make them purrfect
I am a cat lady. I would probably have ten or more if they didn’t give me such bad allergies. Photographing cats is much more difficult than it seems. Yes, cats play by their own rules and if you don’t like it they don’t care. This doesn’t mean they are not loving, they just like doing […]
