Work in progress photography (ENG / ESP) In most of the singular or public buildings, the construction process is monitored. This monitoring produces visually very attractive scenes, even if you are not interested in the sector or do not know it, you may find it interesting. I think this is the case in which the interior structure of an integral reform of a university building shows the aesthetics of a metal framework. Castellano Fotografía del seguimiento de obra.

A picture a day, takes the doctor away (ESP / ENG) Gran parte de mi trabajo ha estado estrechamente ligado a volar, literalmente. Aviones, helicópteros, ultraligeros, globos...

Panoramic photography. (ENG / SPA) I love the panoramic format. When it is not an extreme ratio it adapts much better to the angle of vision of the human eye. As a fact we have that modern television screens have a 16:9 ratio, a moderate format, but much more panoramic than those 4:3 monitors of the dawn of the digital era. This is an image formed by 6 vertical (portrait) photographs and joined with a specific program to make panoramas. The place is a small marine corner in…
Black and white photography. (ENG / SPA) An essential part of photography are the monochromatic images, or if you prefer, black and white with its variants in sepia, selenium and other tonalities. They are the origins and they are still there, as a substantial part of the two-dimensional image. This photo would probably not have the same strength if it were presented in its original colors, but developed in black and white it acquires dramatic tints that make it much more…
Critical photography. (ENG / SPA) When a tourist rolled down the staircase and lost his life, they closed the pyramid. It took one life, as far as we know, and many injuries, for the authorities of the archaeological site of Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan, to decide to ban the access to the top of the pyramid. For them it was not foreseeable, no. For anyone who has visited the site, it was obvious that going up and down the staircase was a real danger, but the managers and…
Travel Photography. (ENG / SPA) When you go to other countries with different cultures you can find situations that escape your way of understanding the world. In this particular case, I was not the one who took the shot because I found the situation curious. It was the man who was having his hair cut in the middle of the main street of Talkeena (Alaska), he was the one who asked me in an unfriendly way to take a picture of him. It is clear that with the gadget he had in his…

The human scale in photography. (ENG / SPA) There are many situations where we need size reference in photography. To know the proportions of the space we capture, it is necessary to have a subject to compare to get an approximate idea of the dimensions of the place. This image is taken in an old quarry right on the seashore, and without that human figure it would be impossible to know the size of the place. Castellano La escala humana en fotografía. Existen muchas…
Conceptual landscape photography. Interpreting the landscape that surrounds us looking for creative limits is sometimes a complicated task, although if we rely on technology, it can be fun, as well as creative (some call it artistic, I don't dare to do so much). Image taken at sunset with a decentralized lens (tilt shift) that allows to blur parts of the image. Castellano Fotografía conceptual del paisaje. Interpretar el paisaje que nos rodea buscando los límites creativos…
Naturaleza no tan muerta. (ESP) Personalmente la primavera nunca me gustó mucho, el cambio es muy brusco y la energía que fluye a raudales me resulta excesiva, en cierta manera se puede decir que me desconcierta. Pero he de reconocer que a la naturaleza le debe sentar de maravilla ese cambio. Este es un algarrobo que está literalmente muerto, o así lo parece, pero de sus entrañas alguna parte de él ha vuelto a renacer. No parece muy grande, no sé si es una recuperación para…

Aerial photography (ENG/SPA) It is said by the locals that the little island of Formentera has three 'seas'. One of them is the authentic Mediterranean, the others are two lagoons, one opened and the other closed. All that can be sight in this aerial image with the tiny village of La Savina in the centre. Castellano Los formenterenses dicen que su isla tiene tres mares. Uno, el Mediterráneo propiamente dicho, los otros dos son dos lagunas, una con salida al mar y la otra…
