Hello to everyone in the Visual Shots community! Today I join the community to share with you some images that I have been able to get from my walk today in the city of San Felix. I take as inspiration two dear photographers who handle street photography in an extraordinary way: @jlinaresp and @wilfredocav. The latter, being my husband and who has had the patience to teach me this art. I invite you of course to see their work, which you will find here on the Hive platform in several of the communities dedicated to the photography niche. Let's start with it then.
From street photography I like the spontaneity that comes out of the moment. Nothing too planned, nothing too embellished. Just the duty of wanting to capture what the eye finds in the randomness of everyday life, but while respecting the nature of what is observed (i.e. where there is no intervention on the part of the photographer), it also involves a certain degree of skill, sensitivity and determination. Trusting the process of what is captured has meaning and added value for the photographer. It seems like a no-brainer, but not all street photography causes interest or relevance in the viewer. Perhaps you will decide whether or not the ones you see here are to your taste.
¡Hola a todos en la comunidad de Visual Shots! El día de hoy me uno a la comunidad para compartir con ustedes algunas imágenes que he podido obtener de mi caminata de hoy en lo que es la ciudad de San Félix. Tomo cómo inspiración a dos queridos fotógrafos que manejan de forma extraordinaria la fotografía de calle: @jlinaresp y @wilfredocav. Este último, siendo mi esposo y quién ha tenido la paciencia para enseñarme este arte. Los invito por supuesto a ver sus trabajos, los cuales encontrarán aquí en la plataforma de Hive en varias de las comunidades dedicadas al nicho de la fotografía. Comencemos con ello entonces.
De la fotografía de calle me gusta la espontaneidad que surge del momento. Nada demasiado planeado, nada demasiado adornado. Solo el deber de querer capturar lo que el ojo encuentra en el azar de la cotidianidad, pero que aunque se respeta la naturaleza de lo que se observa (es decir, dónde no hay intervención alguna por parte del fotógrafo), también conlleva un cierto grado de habilidad, sensibilidad y determinación. Confiar en el proceso de lo que se captura tiene un sentido y un valor añadido por el fotógrafo. Parece algo sencillo, pero no todas las fotografías de calle causan interés o relevancia en el espectador. Quizás ustedes decidan si las que ven aquí son o no de su gusto.
I consider myself a novice in photography even though I have done a few things here and there, but what I really like about it is what I can find as I get better and better at it. You would think that the image speaks for itself but that can't happen if the photographer doesn't know what he wants or doesn't have the ways to do it. Learning to see, learning to know and learning to learn. Among other things, these photographs were taken during my route to the San Felix market since there are usually quite affordable prices there. So I took advantage of the fact that Payito (my partner) was carrying his camera and even more fortuitous the event, he lent it to me to take some pictures.
In spite of the intense sun, I am thankful for the weather today because during these days of heavy rain, having a little bit of clarity is appreciated to be able to take some pictures. I would like to mention that in some of them the intentions are arranged according to the rhythm (the repetition of shapes that create patterns), the lines (the direction and tension in which some figures of the image are arranged) and the contrast between lights/shadows (the eternal duality in art). Some of them are more evident and others not so much. I must say that after a while it started to rain quite hard which was a surprise, so I could not continue with the work. I think the next installment will be postponed until next time. Finally this has been my delivery, with nothing more to say, many thanks.
Me considero una novata en la fotografía a pesar de que he hecho algunas cosas por allí y por allá, pero lo que realmente me gusta de esto es lo que puedo hallar conforme me voy formando. Uno pensaría que la imágen habla por si sola pero eso no puede suceder si el fotógrafo no sabe lo que quiere o no tiene las formas para hacerlo. Aprender a ver, aprender a conocer y aprender a aprender. Entre otras cosas, estas fotografías fueron tomadas durante mi ruta hacia el mercado de San Félix ya que allí suelen haber precios bastante asequibles. Por lo que aproveche que Payito (mi pareja), cargaba la camara y aún mas fortuito el evento, me la prestó para poder tomar algunas fotografías.
A pesar del intenso sol, agradezco el clima de hoy pues durante estos días de mucha lluvia tener un poco de claridad se agradece para poder tener algunas fotografías. Quisiera mencionar que en algunas de ellas las intenciones van dispuestas según el ritmo (la repetición de formas que crean patrones), las líneas (la dirección y tensión en la que se encuentran dispuestas algunas figuras de la imágen) y el contraste entre las luces/sombras (la eterna dualidad en el arte). Algunas de ellas son más evidentes y otras de ellas no tanto. Debo decir que luego de un rato comenzó a llover bastante fuerte lo cual fue una sorpresa, por lo que no pude continuar con el trabajo. Creo que la siguiente entrega quedará pospuesta hasta una próxima ocasión. Finalmente esta ha sido mi entrega, sin más nada que decir, muchísima gracias por pasar por aquí y leer/ver mi publicación. Les envío un fuerte abrazo.
