January topic: Faces

p h o t o g r a p h e r s



I am an amateur photographer. I like to walk around wearing sneakers and find hidden surprises. I like to see people, the way they talk, the way they move. I love books, the light, the Sun and the rain. I love the wind that moves the leaves, the old and new melodies and long and curious conversations. I love little towns, big cities, old bridges, fields, mountains and beaches: landscapes that are beyond my eyes. I love to be at home, but traveling, too! And see the diversity of the world. I am from Venezuela. I live in London with my husband and enjoy taking pictures in every corner. You can also find my pictures in My Blog and Flickr



I'm Ana and I live in Madrid with my husband and our three children. When I was nine I got my first camera, and ever since I -almost!- always carry one with me. I like sweets, travelling and daydreaming. I'm cheerful and a bit of a scatterbrain. I like to listen (rather than to talk) and being behind the camera (rather than in front). I'm 34.

I'm Anna, I live in Valencia, and for 33 years I've loved moving between the city, the fresh air and the light of the Mediterranean towns.I have always liked taking pictures, I still remember my first camera ... and I embarked on this project thanks to Eva and with great enthusiasm. Photography makes me feel more alive. I like to record special moments,  light, looks, smiles .... I like to keep the image of a smell, an emotion, beautiful things ... This past year has made me change the perspective, the objective of my camera and my mind to observe and enjoy the small moments and great people that truly fill life.

 Photography makes me smile inside.Teach me to discover the hidden beauty in all things.Shooting makes me leave me and set me on the details,the small details of the world, my litlle world.I graduated in Pharmacy and Community Psychology.I learned to play piano and saxophone.I studied drawing and painting.And it seems to me that every day I miss more things to discover and learn...I like absolute silence and listening to music loudly.I like sunshine and rain. The bitter and sweet.I like sincere smiles and tight hugs. I was born in a cold winter day, 32 years ago. My name is Carla. You can also find my pictures in my blog and Flickr.

I was born in Malmö, Sweden in 1980. My childhood was spent in southern Sweden, 11 years in Santiago de Chile and almost 7 years in Málaga, a beautiful city in southern Spain. I´m now based in Chile again. Photography has always been with me, but started to change my life a couple of years ago. It took me to another world and today I enjoy like a little girl with every detail, light and corner. You can also find my work in www.claudiaperezg.com

I'm Eva and I live near Barcelona, in Terrassa, since I was born 37 Novembers ago. My first camera arrived in my life when I was 7 or 8 and since then I preffered to be behind the camera and not in front of it. I love photography because it allowes to me to see those beautiful little thinks that life has and you can only see through an objetive. I studied marketing and public relations and my life has turned almost always around the commercial world. I have a wonderful son, I have published a book and now only I have to plant a tree. And fodder to take in doing it. You can also find my pictures in my site, La Bicicleta Vermella and in Flickr

I'm IDania. Born in Cuba 56 years ago. Lived and went to school in the US and at the moment, live in Spain, in the High Sierra of Madrid with one husband, two children and two dogs. I live in peace with myself. I'm a legal assistant by profession, but for the last 11 years I've worked as an executive secretary. Cooking is my hobby and photography, my passion. For years I've wanted to be a painter; however, I soon discovered I didn´t have what it take to be a painter. That's the reason why I turned to photography. I was never able to take artistic pictures because I never found the art within until Jackie taught me how to find it.You can also find my pictures in my blog and Flickr

A couple of years ago I decided to give a radical change to my life, a change that maybe nobody would have done. I feel lucky, because in this new path I met the person who accompanies me every day. Thanks to him I could bring out the artistic side from within me. I love Art in all its letters and of course photography is a key part of it and of my own. I wanted to share this new time of my life with my family and friends through every image. My photographs are an extension of my eyes. I enjoy the pleasure of eating and I have also a strong passion for cooking, which I share on my blog and in Gourmet magazine in Punta del Este (Uruguay). I am a Chilean "patiperra" living in Switzerland. People call me Kako and I love the way it sounds. You can also find my pictures in Flickr

I was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, where I lived until I met my husband. Now we live in Haren, a village in the north of Germany, we have two children, a dog and several cats. I like photography since I was young, inspired by my father, with whom I was fascinated at his dark chamber, seeing the magic of transforming a piece of paper in a photo. I started with annalog photography, I took many pictures of nature, specially birds, during my Biology study. hrough photography, I learned to see the world around me, and to discover that there are always different points of view!  You can also find my pictures in Flickr

"It is never too late or too soon to be who you want to be. There is no limit of time, start whenever you want. You can change or remain the same. There are no rules. Get the best out of your worst moment. Hope you get the best. Hope you can see things that stop you. Hope you can feel things you never felt. Hope you meet people with different points of view. Hope you can live a life you are proud of. And if it is not like that, hope you have the strength to start over from zero." This is what we are at... My name is Luisina, I am 31 and I live in Rosario, Argentina. You can also find my pictures in my blog and Flickr

Also tell me Maco. I am Chilean (Chile, South America), I 'm 29 years old and live in Constitución, a town on the edge of the sea. I like simple things and the photography makes me feel very comfortable. I wish I 
had the gift of words to better explain this feeling! Many of my pictures make me extremely happy, and many other frustrated me a lot... The good news is that these disagreements can never be an opportunity to leave my camera. I am honored to participate in Photographic Project. You can also find my pictures in Flickr




I am from Patagonia, Argentina. I currently live in London with my partner. I got my camera not son long ago, but even though I am certain that photography makes me feel good. Now thorough my lens I can see things that used to passed unnoticed and undetected. In professional terms I am an economist, as I could also have been a lawyer or any other profession, but I do not like it much. At the time of my choice I never imagined I could do or enjoy creative things, how wrong I was!. Photography has surprised me in many beautiful ways! Everyday I am learning and discovering new things. You can find my pictures in Flickr

To take a photography course has always been in my wishes list... Jackie Rueda's Atelier Aprender a Mirar, arrived in a special moment in my life, I guess I was waiting for this moment into plunge in the world of photography . Now, I think permanently about pictures, I imagine diverse shots, I dream about edition... I have found an infinite universe with wich I'm at least beginning to relate. I discovered the power of the camera , it 's my partner, it has become a part me and when I go out without her I feel incomplete.  You can also find my pictures in Flickr

After my children were born something changed in me. Looking at them growing up each day, my way of observing the world was changed. Landscapes, shapes, objects, textures, faces, colors, before unnoticed, remain in my retina. I started photographing them with the objective of freezing those moments.
I opened my heart to a new world, to see with my soul. I have not much to say...let my photos speak out for me. You can also find my pictures in my blog and Flickr

Until recently, photography for me was just clicking every time I saw something "picture worth". Now I know that it has nothing to do with it. But then as now, I'm enjoying photography.
When I was small there was no camera at home, and when a family member said that he or she wanted to take a picture of me, I combed my hair and I put the best robe on. Now I prefer to stay behind the camera,
but I still enjoy preparing the setting, with that sort of ceremony before each photo. You can also find my pictures in Flickr
