Documentary, Artistic Intent, Business, and Life
I have spent the last months trying to dissect my path as a photographer. It has not been easy to separate the documentarian, from the quasi-artist, from the man who wants to establish a business, and he who is fascinated with life itself. During this process, I stumbled upon something that seemed to collectively put it all into some frames: Family Documentary Photography. By that I mean: the spontaneous, and genuine, capturing of a moment in a family’s history. To me, there is nothing more visually interesting than life in its unaltered form.
As I was diving into it, I asked one of my best friends if he would allow me to document his interaction with his son for my exploration.
I believe that what I do is not art. I am a person with a very strong pull for an artistic intent—but I am not an artist. The good thing is that, even with my limited capacity, life finds its way to shine
The following photographs speak to me. What is captured is not something that I created, it is something that was already there: the bond of a young boy with his loving father.
