IGNACIO VARA
Ignacio Vara, Seville 1960 (Spain). I propose a street photography that do not focus exclusively on capturing the decisive moment, the spectacle of the unusual, the surprising coincidence, the profusion of shadows, Alternatively, I prefer to explore human nature in its most simple, everyday gestures and even in the absence of them. I love street photography because it mixes two elements that fascinates me: the observation of people and light. I see the street as an unique space where human beings are forced to interact, although most of the time, we behave pretending to ignore other people. I believe that photography always tells about reality, our perception of it and the relationship between both in a way that allows us to understand people while knowing ourselves better. I always work with a Leica M9 using the same unique fix lens a Leica summicron 35 mm f 2,0. asph. I process photos with Adobe Lightroom trying just to optimize the original raw shot.
