ENTRY DESCRIPTION
While walking in a ranch of some friends, in the surroundings of Teresopolis, RJ, Brazil, I saw in the distance a group of trees with clear trunks, without leaves, that stood out of all the others around them. I immediately realized that they would be perfect in a black & white composition. In post-production, I tried to accentuate slightly the difference of tonalities, increasing the contrast and creating greater texture.

AUTHOR
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, in 1964. I am an ophthalmologist by profession and photographer by passion. My relationship with photography started around the age of 15, with my father's Olympus OM-1 and has not stopped since. After a brief relationship with pet photography, which I still love, I discovered that nature photography is my niche, from the macro world of landscapes to the micro world of plants, trying to relate them to panoramic photography, which is the closest way our eyes see the world. Today, I pay special attention to the forms and textures and how the light influences them, which is leading me to new experiments and interpretations, directing me to fine art photography.
