Finalist work XIX Photography Contest MIRAR LA ARQUITECTURA / XIX Argazki Lehiaketa ARKITEKTURARI BEGIRA organized by the official Basque-Navarrese College of Architects of the Navarre delegation.
"I am a lover of facades and the simpler and more sincere they are, the more I like them.
Normally my clients demand them in color to show as faithfully as possible the colors and textures of their products, but personally I prefer black and white in architectural photography. By making them in black and white, without color distractions, geometric shapes take center stage and allow me later as a final observer to discover and appreciate the rhythms and geometries that the arquitect@s have wanted to suggest, and even sometimes rediscover and/or propose new rhythms.
In this case, with the proposed photography, and since it started from a clear, continuous and forceful rhythm; I wanted to maintain that order and try to reflect it in a flat projection with hardly any air."
