Cuatro

  • I would define myself as a mum of two kids, and some cameras in my bag. Having said that, I am supposed to take the typical photos of their childhood, colorful images of my smiling children in amazing locations, and that ́s perfect... but not me. However, I have to admit, that right after becoming a mum, I tried those kind of photographs, but I did not like it that much. I did not consider those photos as of my own. I consider photography an artistic expression, so I enjoy photographying my children ́s childhood according to the kind of photography I love. This is the origin of my “Cuatro” project (“Cuatro” means number four in english): my two kids, my camera and the way I see, and understand, photography. Four elements; no more, no less.
