「The sea of dawn(夜明けの海)」
この作品のテーマは官能性と遊び心、海と女性、そして幼少期の記憶です。
人々の物語や美しさ、純粋さにインスピレーションを得て制作しました。
The themes of this works are sensuality and playfulness, the sea and the woman, and childhood memories.
I was inspired by the stories of people, beauty and purity.
I invited women to stay at my home and portray them in an intimate and natural way.
Either family, friends, artists or someone I just met and was fascinated by.
To some, I wrote a letter about how I saw the connection between us and handed over and read during an early six
o’clock morning breakfast together.
Shortly after that the photographs were taken on the beach or in the sea, usually at daybreak.
Women were brave enough to dare getting into the character and playing with my own mood and temper.
Working together with trust and freedom at sunrise with its light and colors there is a sensation of that here and now nothing else is needed.
These women have helped me as a photographer and as a person as well.
A photographer from Barcelona.
