Friends of Photography
Friends
of Photography [2] is a monthly appearance of someone from my world of photography. People that have a photostream that I like, or that I frequently interact with or have somehow a distinct style. The title of this post was inspired on a project of a friend from photography. This 'idea' came into my mind because lately I find myself wanting to share more than just my photos. Who knows if you could be the next one represented here! I bring to you 2 photos from the photographer, my words about the author and a special text made by each month guest. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I.
Nuno Dantas | Nuno was a reference
since I started shooting and still is, this project is one example, plus I
think we have some similarities in our photographing style. Browsing is flickr photostream makes me think "How can I get tired of photos and shooting?!Never!".
His photography includes many styles: details, macro, street, people,
landscapes, seascapes, shadows, panoramas [with fujifilm X100] and very interesting projects. He´s
not new in this art and uses from digital to film, with a very know how of his
equipment. He manages to include photography in his busy life always sharing to
his followers. If you don´t know Nuno´s work I strongly recommend!
Also in his photostream you can find: strong colors, bokeh, street faces, humour, attention to details, framing skills, good taste and ideas. I can say
for last and for sure that he has been an inspiration to many of us.
I started really enjoying taking pictures in the summer of 2008 when i bought my first DSLR. In a couple of months i was addicted to photography! From then to now it was an amazing path and photography changed my life. Now i have a thing that i really like to do.
My photos don't have a personal style or a single fixed theme but they have my personal touch. I think that is easy to tell when a photo is taken by me.
I do many kinds of photos, like street, landscape, macro, theme projects and "Dantas style" photos :)
Photographic projects make me keep shooting and learning more, it's the way i find not to struggle. In the last years i was shooting both film and digital. Shooting film is special, i slow down making photos and i thing i get better results. Digital is better when i don’t have time to think, or i need to make a lot of mistakes to make one single photo.
If you ask me what is my favorite photographer may answer is simple: all my friends. those who go out with me to take photos, those who comment my photos and those who help me improve.

Esta edição do "friends of photography" traz um fotógrafo que eu pessoalmente aprecio bastante. Quando embarcaste neste projecto relacionei-o logo com o projecto "Amigos da Fotografia" do Nuno, que adorei.
ReplyDeleteA diversidade nas fotografias do Nuno Dantas, bem como a qualidade das mesmas, o facto de ele conseguir ser bom em tantas vertentes é algo que me faz apreciar bastante o seu trabalho.
Hoje em dia sinto que está muito em voga uma abordagem muito "lomo" à fotografia, em que a quebra das regras e libertação da técnica é feita sistematicamente, muitas vezes sem motivos válidos e sem que isso contribua efectivamente para a evolução da arte em si, até por vezes parecem, na minha opinião, uma maneira pomposa de esconder algumas deficiências. Por outro lado temos os que obedecem cegamente às regras e buscam a perfeição técnica... As fotos do Nuno agradam-me especialmente por serem muito limpas, com edições muito naturais, numa simbiose "perfeita" (se é que isso existe) entre a técnica e o sentimento, o motivo... não sei explicar bem, é como um equilíbrio perfeito entre as duas abordagens, é fotografia!
Se as pessoas aceitarem irão aparecer mais tugas e que provavelmente já conheces. O Nuno não podia deixar de faltar e sim foi inspirado no projecto dele, faço referência a isso, embora não se possa comparar.
DeleteSim, concordo com o que referiste sobre a fotografia dele, e ligando ao que falaste sobre a fotografia que se faz hoje em dia penso que ele se encontra no meio (e no meio está a virtude!). Ou seja, não dispara clicks sem saber o que está a fazer mas também não é uma pessoa de seguir regras à risca ou mesmo tendências. Ele próprio tem um estilo fácil de reconhecer mas que ainda assim nos vai surpreendendo pela positiva.
Volto a frisar que umas das coisas que o Nuno não deixa de fazer é partilhar as fotos que vai fazendo. Falo por mim mas o facto de não partilhar tanto faz com que desvalorize muito a fotografia que faço e ache que já nada vale a pena publicar.
