"I take photos because I enjoy creating beautiful images. My compositions are often graphic, because they are about the enjoyment I get from things around me, seen from a different perspective, so when I'm taking photographs I try to stay totally receptive to my surroundings.

For me Summer is the season of new beginnings and this January was one of the hottest around here. I think this receptive feeling made me decide to go back to taking photos in color, after a long period of experimenting with B&W. It was in 2011, when I was studying History of Photography that my teacher inspired me to question aesthetics. Only then did I start seeing photography from a subjective conceptual viewpoint - expression and abstraction resulting in an image. At the time I was shooting with analog and digital cameras, trying to figure out the relationship of experiments, ranging from more extravagant disturbances to abstract analogy. Since 2012, with the advent of the Hipstamatic app, my style is still connected to the processes of abstraction and in this specific series, I was concerned with the principle of superposition to create new colors and the results of a pattern in vibrant tones.

Since its release, Lowy has been my favorite lens, because there is little contrast and there is a balance between highlights and shadows. The minimal processing of this lens brings out the best in every film. My favorite film for color is Sugar, because is warm and very defined, and also, and the neutral grain and black frame perfectly suit the purpose of this series."
