Searching for Models
Image by Lady Pain (Marta Manso)
La vida es dura, y la competencia en el campo artístico más, sobre todo para una aprendiz como yo. Hay tantos artistas, tanta gente que ha nacido con don, que no sirve con tener ciertas dotes, algunas buenas ideas, o ganas de aprender. Eso ya no es suficiente.
De todas formas, últimos sucesos me han animado a intentar lo que realmente me gustaría hacer, y no conformarme con el mejor mercado. Son las mujeres alternativas las que me interesan, las que quiero retratar, a las que quiero captar su forma de ser para transmitirlo, su estética para impresionar al mundo con Belleza que desconocen, y que creen que jamás les podría interesar.
Quiero romper prejuicios, barreras, quiero que aunque retrate a una chica con 10 piercings y otros tantos tatuajes, a la gente le deje de funcionar el mecanismo de los prejuicios rendidos ante la belleza y la magia de la modelo y la imagen.
YO NO SOY MODELO. Nunca lo he sido y dudo que nunca lo sea (salvo momentos especiales). Con lo que me gusta la tecnología, una cámara me intimida igual que intimida un contestador automático, es frío. De cada foto que veis, he hecho 500.
Pero en cambio detrás de la cámara, nos entendemos bien. Y quiero volver a sentir todo el poder en mis manos cuando soy yo la que observa desde fuera y visualiza los mejores planos, cuando tengo ante mí a una mujer de la que intentaré sacar lo mejor, y no trabajar a ciegas como implican los autorretratos.
Conozco el mundo, conozco el pensamiento alternativo, la estética alternativa, la forma de ser... alternativa. Soy parte de él. Y yo no soy la mejor forma de mostrarlo, pero sí puedo sacarlo de aquellas que sí tienen capacidad de mostrarlo. Quiero chicas góticas, hippies, muñequitas con mirada peligrosa,... me da igual. Chicas que se vean guapas en su piel, y tengan algo que decir. Esas mujeres que no necesitan desnudarse para atraer las miradas. Y no hablo de ser guapas... si no de ser magnéticas.
====================
Life is hard, and the artistic world's competition further more, mainly for an apprentice like I. There are so many artists, so much people who have been born with talent, that it's not enough having certain dowries, some good ideas, or learning desire. That no longer is enough.
In any case, last events have encouraged me to try what I really would like to do, and not to resign myself with the best market. The alternative women are those that interest me, those that I want to capture, to catch his personality to transmit it, its aesthetic to impress, shock the world with Beauty that they don't know yet.
I want to break prejudices, barriers, I want to take photos of a 10 piercings and 10 tatoos girl, and see how people's prejudices mechanism get captivated with the beauty and the magic of the model and the image.
I AM NOT A MODEL. I have never been and I don't think I will never be it (except for special moments). It's curious that I love technology, but a camera intimidates me just as intimidates an answering machine, is cold. For each photo that you see, I have done 500.
But however behind the camera, we get on well. And I want to return to feel all the power in my hands when I am the one that observes from the outside and visualizes the good shoots, when I have in front of me a woman, ready for leaving me getting the best of her, and not to work completely blind as the self-portraits imply.
I know the world, I know the alternative thoughts, the alternative aesthetics, the alternative… personality. I am part of it. And I am not the best way to show it, but I can get it from the girls that have the capacity to do it. I want gothic girls, hippies, dolls with dangerous glance,… it's everything right. Girls who feel smart, and have something to say. Those women that don't need to undress to attract the glances. And I am not speaking of being cute… I'm speaking about being magnetic.
