Visual narrative and strong portraiture. The decisive moment. The human condition.
Evg3 Photoblog is my personal imagery space, all the photos are taken by me, a freelance photographer and graphic designer currently living at México City.
“By my 3rd birthday, I got my first camera: a Kodak Instamatic 110mm my dad bought while spending a weekend in Cuernavaca, and wasted no time in putting it to good use..
My love for creating compelling images grew side by side to my passion for Motorsports, a combination that served me quite well: as the relationship with sponsors and managing a promotional efforts with a strong visual element opened up an opportunity to enter the world of media production, art direction and advertising.
So I produced my first project at the age of 17, promoting welfare concerts heavily supported by mass media and high impact production. I was well into working with photography and print media as a freelancer by age 22. By my mid twenties, I had a few small books, promotional campaigns and annual reports under my belt.
A “functionalist” vision of photography and art carried me from producing corporate reports and calendars to ads and catalogs for fashion companies. This, in turn, led to tabletop productions for jewelry brands as well as publicity work for restaurants and lifestyle oriented publications…”
Time is transient, it is fleeting. We experience it, use it, abuse it, even fear it, but my concern here are sequences of events as I witness them and manage to collect them through the lens. Though I will attempt to guide the attention and with it a state of mind and emotion, each of you will experience these slices and fractions of frozen moments as differently as your personality and individuality allows. It is not a philosophical exploration about time; no, it’s about my personal visual voyage towards a collection of short-lived simulacra of occurrences worth their weight in words the mind and heart can only perceive.
The obsession with capturing moments to visualize later or share with others doesn’t just say a lot about who we are as persons, but also describes something about the human condition that has enamored my thoughts and imagination. Through photographic imagery we create transcendence communicating moments and events to future generations and more. Not surprisingly, I discover humanity’s obsession with eternity, the need to keep the present going and to relive it. There is something else, more striking: a ceaseless exercise of awareness, a pursuit for truths and lessons in the details we encounter from day to day.
I was born and raised in Westchester County, New York and currently live in Mexico City.
My camera gear includes an old –but hefty– Nikon D200, and Canon G9 for backup –never leave home without it….
