Since the English mathematician and astronomer John Herschel named it as such in 1839, there has been no better definition of what we do. Photography is an engraving with light.
Light reacts on the elements and adapts, modifying how we perceive them. We think we see shapes and spaces but they are nothing more than plays of light that direct our thoughts and emotions. In this way light offers us the possibility of a specific language. With photography we try to use these emotional reactions to communicate meanings.
In every language the explicit always has a hidden charge. A complementary reading. This is the subjective contribution that human beings make to the physical. Often from the most unknown part of himself.
Our quest is to learn the mechanisms and effects that regulate this system.
The first formal lessons on photography and darkroom development came to me from Carlos Cánovas and Nicolás López in courses at the Public University of Navarra in 2002 and 2003.
Once I finished my degree, and until 2006, I took the Diploma in Photography at the GrisArt school in Barcelona.
The following years were of research, maturation and learning in various personal and commissioned projects. Finally, in 2009, I entered the world of architectural photography.
Currently, after 15 years of experience and specialisation, I offer a complete post-production service for companies and professionals.
At the same time I continue with my research in personal creative projects. As a sample you can see "Gaueko", the last project completed with the support of the Navarra Government's Visual Arts Grants.
Carlos's work is extremely professional and high quality. The postproduction care, flexibility in delivery times and commitment to each projects is total.
"It is a privilege to be able to count with the good work and the level of self-demand of a professional with an accurate, sensitive and enormously persistent approach.
A highly intuitive individual, with great technical skills and the ability to communicate effectively. You can be sure he will develop the vision you give him and take it to its best with absolute care and precision.
I'm very happy with the work that Carlos has done for us. He is able to quickly understand the requirements of each project and apply the style that enhances the image. He has been flexible when the schedule have changed, sometime at the last minute and still manage to deliver the images quickly. Most importantly, our clients are happy.
“Carlos has everything you need from a professional retoucher and more: professionalism, honesty, organized during post-production processes, respectful with deadlines and vast technical skills…Besides, lots of patience and a warm treatment. I fully recommend him”
It's a rare surprise to meet a profesional figure able to understand your work while enhancing it, to deliver your message at its best. That's Carlos does.
