INTRODUCING CARLES RODRIGO MONZO
I live in Valencia, east of the Iberian Peninsula. A place with very good weather, plenty of sunshine which affects people’s mood. I don’t like it there very much because people are not open to new artistic concepts, life, etc. I’m 24 years old. I’ve always taken photos of trips and holidays. Two years ago I’ve been taught how to develop film and from there I got into it more seriously. I also got a DSLR and I always learn somrthing new from my online searches. I want to bring a new vision of photography, make people more interested about it, excite them. As an industrial designer, I have always been thorough, passionate and obsessed with the detail on the furniture and objects, as a photographer I happen to carry this passion and obsession for detail to everything. I can not go down the street without noticing things and making mental pictures. I like all the cameras, each has something special, I buy them all. But I’ve always liked the polaroid and lately I bought a Yashica Fx-3 super 2000, which is very good. This is a picture of me standing in front of the tripod on a foggy night. Here’s what happened: it was late and I was about to go to sleep when I looked outside the window. The fog had covered the place and since this isn’t happening often around here I got dressed and went out in the field. Foggy forests are one of my obsessions so there was my chance to capture one. I like many photographers, in fact sometimes I do not even remember where I find them and what their name is. One that stands out is Ryan Mcginley because his pictures are both natural and precious.
