I am entirely self-taught in photography, and I continue learning. I think it’s precisely because I’m self-taught that I fearlessly embraced the digital darkroom and added new techniques to my traditional film/darkroom photography. I mostly shoot people…my background in shooting fashion is always influencing my work. I envision telling a story without words…only one image…only ONE image. But there IS a story… in the past or in a moment about to happen. My comfort zone is my studio. I control the lighting and direct the models. My lighting has been strongly influenced by the Hollywood studio photographers of the 1920s and 1930s. I use “hot lights,” not strobes, and I prefer shooting with film as often as I can. I entered the ‘digital darkroom’ by scanning my film with my…

The Brazilian backcountry, or how it's said in Portuguese, "Sertão" is the largest of the four sub-regions in the country's northeast regions, occupying a significant part of the territory of eight states. It is a vast region secreted by public authorities and unknown by the majority of the Brazilian population and other foreign groups that visit or have visited Brazil due to its Adridness and long drainage periods. I visited this community for three months by an incursion from piauí, through the states of Bahia, Pernambuco, Paraiba, Rio Grande do Norte, and ceará. It made me see through the souls of the local population. Their beliefs held faith and gratitude for the little things, for the necessary only, and dignity in the face of life and human relations. This is…

HUMANITARIAN STORIES Spanish award-winning international photographer Quim Fàbregas, shooting hypnotizing photos that associate us with his figures' lives and rich stories. Quim Fàbregas has been studying photography through participation in courses given by Foto Film Calella (2000) and by the Institut d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya (2001-2003).

MEXICO. A few years ago, Julia Wong, a Peruvian of Chinese origin, writer, poet, and cultural promoter, invited me to participate in her project on Chinese migration in Mexico. She wanted to do it with the gaze of Peruvian photographers because, in her opinion, this migratory process had permeated the Peruvian culture more. There had been greater social and cultural integration between the Chinese and Peruvians than between the Chinese and Mexicans. This could be explained because, in the case of Peru, it was the final destination country; on the other hand, in most cases, the final destination was the United States, and Mexico was a transit country. My destination was the city of Guadalajara, the second largest in the country. Here I contacted the descendant grandson of a Chinese…

”I have spent my entire career photographing children all over the world. For the last several years, I have focused my eyes on the "Irish Travellers" that live in caravans on the side of the road or in open fields throughout Ireland. The Traveller community is an Irish nomadic indigenous ethnic minority. There is no recorded date as to when Travellers first came to Ireland. This is lost to history, but Travellers have been recorded to exist in Ireland as far back as history can be recorded. Even with their great history, they live as outsiders to society and face unbelievable racism growing up. As a mother of two daughters, I became highly interested in the culture and traditions and the lives of these children. I have spent many years…

The "Haunting Portraits" series focuses on the hard workers of Bangladesh. They work either in the docks, shipyards, or as laborers in the brick factories outside Dhaka. In 2020 I visited different places and portrayed the workers photographically. Over 160 million people live in a country four times the size of Switzerland. Bangladesh has the eighth-highest population density in the world and is growing rapidly. People are teeming everywhere, especially in Dhaka! It is a challenging city because it is rough, noisy, dirty, and sometimes foggy. Working conditions are tough and, for many, a struggle for survival. The temperatures are often very hot in the brick factories, the air mixed with dust, and the bricks heavy. Working in the blazing sun has scarred these people. They balance a load of…

“PHOTOGRAPHY OFFERS ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN THE WORLD WHILE I ALSO FLOATING OUTSIDE IT. WHEN I AM IMMERSED IN MAKING CANDID PHOTOGRAPHS, I SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY MOMENTS THAT I WOULD OTHERWISE MISS.”- REBECCA ROTHEY Photography offers the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the world around me. When I am making photographs, I slow down and observe moments that I would otherwise miss. Time stops, my mind frees while my eyes roam, and my finger clicks as if on impulse. Working in black and white removes distractions and allows me to focus on the emotion and geometry of a scene. I enjoy making images with people I don't know, creating momentary connections with them. There is a unique intimacy in those shared moments. Rothey's mother was a…
