Comecei a ter contato com a fotografia nos anos 70, quando fiz um curso na Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage.
Na época, usava filmes e revelava e ampliava minhas próprias fotos. Cheguei a ter um laboratório Preto e Branco em minha casa. Ainda era um experimento.
Mais tarde, a vida acabou me arrastando para a área de Tecnologia da Informação e a fotografia acabou se tornando um hobby. Fotografava a família e viagens apenas. Mas sempre fotografando.
Em 2019, resolvi voltar a fotografia com maior envolvimento e comprometimento. Voltei as fotos em Preto e Branco e comecei a compartilhar meu trabalho e a participar de concursos e exposições.
Redescobri o P&B, a luz e as sombras que trazem ao meu trabalho maior grafismo e por conta disso acabei me encontrando com a possibilidade do abstrato, que atualmente me dá muito prazer.
Com esse olhar mais voltado para o grafismo, acabei me encontrando com a cor, que trouxe novos elementos ao meu trabalho e que tenho arriscado cada vez mais.
A possibilidade do grafismo usando luzes, sombras e às vezes as cores, neste momento, é o que mais me interessa e me atrai.
I started to have contact with photography in the 70s, when I took a course at the School of Visual Arts of Parque Lage.
At that time, I used films and developed and enlarged my own photos. I even had a Black and White laboratory in my home. It was still an experiment.
Later, life ended up dragging me to the area of Information Technology and photography ended up becoming a hobby. I photographed the family and travels only. But always photographing.
In 2019, I decided to return to photography with greater involvement and commitment. I returned to the photos in black and white and started sharing my work and participating in contests and exhibitions.
I rediscovered the B&W, the light and the shadows that bring greater graphics to my work and because of that I ended up finding myself with the possibility of the abstract, which currently gives me a lot of pleasure.
With this look more focused on graphics, I ended up meeting color, which brought new elements to my work and which I have risked more and more.
The possibility of graphics using lights, shadows and sometimes colors, at this moment, is what interests me most and attracts me.
