Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2018 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Today we are approached daily with the problem of plastic. Recycling does not always work and more and more indiscriminately uses plastic in almost everything we use daily. On the one hand it is affecting the environment, with huge islands of plastic in the ocean but also the human being, with problems that begin to affect to the level of his health. In this way, this image tries in a concetual way to add the plastic element but also on the other hand this image can also interpret the Yin-Yang, yin is the intuitive, complex mind, whereas yang is the intellect, the symmetrical arrangement of the dark Yin and the Yang clear. The Yang originates Yin, and Yin originates Yang, as the alternate functioning of the lung. The image as the series is created with recycled elements, under black card background in my house
AUTHOR
My name is Antonio Bernardino Martins Coelho, I am from a small village in the north of Portugal, where I live. I am 40 years old, married and father of two girls. I work as an electrical engineer. A taste for painting was evident in me early on, but it was only in 2010 after a trip to Cuba that I became interested in photography, having captured a lot of images.
However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analog equipment and develop the photography learning activity in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favorite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
