A game of shadows: why and how to crush the blacks
in journal
The shadows play a very important role in my photography. By controlling them, I get to decide how much to reveal, and how much to hide. Instead of giving the viewer everything, I like my images to hint.

Lasting tree
in photographs
Aceredo, Galicia, February 2022.
This tree had been underwater for decades, until it resurfaced very recently. Briefly, as it will be gone again soon, this time maybe forever.
Swing
in photographs
St Joseph, Michigan, February 2021.
I love capturing objects that feel out of place, like this swing in the middle of nowhere in a snowy landscape.

Reflections of a dead tree

Aceredo, Galicia, February 2022.
This tree has been underwater for 30 years. All that time later, and for just a few minutes, the water stood still and I was able to capture this beautiful scene.
Photographing the underwater town of Aceredo
in journal
The small town of Aceredo has been underwater for more than 30 years, but it's resurfaced for a brief time due to a drought. Of course, I had to capture it with my camera.

Cruising the skies

Galicia, Spain.
I love photographing the storks that live around here. This morning, I captured this one coming back to its nest after an early outing.
There's freedom in constraints
in journal
Most of my work is black and white, square images.
Over the last few years, I've witnessed quite a few stunning and colorful sunrises, and found scenes that would have worked pretty well on a more traditional 3:2 aspect ratio.
And yet, I stick to monochrome and the square format.
Those are not the only restrictions I impose on my photography. Even though a bit fuzzier than the other two, I'm pretty selective with my subject matter and the conditions I like to shoot in.
All of this might sound pretty restrictive but it is, in fact, liberating. After some time doing photography, I know what I'm looking for and what I'm trying to create with my camera.
If I had to capture everything I found in my explorations in the most fitting way, rather than the way I see it, the experience would be overwhelming. By limiting some of my options, I can better find what I'm looking for.
Sleepy windmills
