It was a great experience, but it was a challenge too because we were taking picture while the teachers were giving their classes too. Some of them were willing to have the photos taken since some of the pics will be used for the institute publicity. But I could see in other faces they were not totally confortable having a flock of &nbsp;guys pointing the cameras and shooting flashes to their faces. I know, as photographer, we usually bother people, our subjects &nbsp;and, in this cases, I try to stay as far as I can using a telephoto lens and pointing the flash to the ceiling to diffuse the light. It reminded me one time, some month ago, &nbsp;I went to a music show in a restaurant and there was a photographer contracted by the organizers and he was always between the public and the musician with a hat and shooting the flash in front of the singer for more than the necessary time. I think it was the extreme case of one annoying photographer I have ever seen. I almost loose my Leica trowing it to his head because I could not enjoy the show as I wanted. The point is, as photographer &nbsp;we must try to be invisible. We must try to do not be so annoying. We are not the subjects, we are always behind the camera.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">El fot&oacute;grafo, el fastidioso.</font></strong><br />&nbsp;<br />Comenzando esta semana tuve la siempre placentera oportunidad de ir con el grupo del Centro de Fotograf&iacute;a de Houston al Instituto Culinario LeNotre. Fue una gran experiencia, pero a la vez fue un reto debido a que tom&aacute;bamos fotos mientras los profesores daban sus clases. Algunos de ellos estaban dispuestos a ser fotografiados debido a que algunas fotos podr&iacute;an ser usadas para publicidad del instituto. Pero pude ver en otros rostros que no estaban totalmente c&oacute;modos con el enjambre de gente apuntando c&aacute;maras y flashes a sus caras.&nbsp; Reconozco que, como fot&oacute;grafos, normalmente fastidiamos a la gente, nuestros sujetos de trabajo y en este caso trat&eacute; lo mas posible de mantenerme alejado usando un lente de largo alcance y apuntando el flash hacia el techo para difundir la luz. Esto me hizo recordar una an&eacute;cdota de unos meses antes cuando asist&iacute; &nbsp;a un show musical en un restaurant y hab&iacute;a un fot&oacute;grafo, contratado por los organizadores, que estuvo casi todo el concierto entre el publico y los m&uacute;sicos, con un sombrero y bombardeando de flashes a los m&uacute;sicos mas de el tiempo necesario. Pienso que este es el caso mas extremo del fot&oacute;grafo fastidioso que haya visto.&nbsp; Casi pierdo mi Leica por las ganas de tir&aacute;rsela a la cabeza por no dejarme disfrutar el show como quer&iacute;a.&nbsp;El punto es, como fot&oacute;grafos, deber&iacute;amos tratar de ser invisibles. &nbsp;No somos el sujeto porque siempre estaremos detr&aacute;s de la c&aacute;mara.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taking it seriously]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.photoartex.com/blog/taking-it-seriously]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.photoartex.com/blog/taking-it-seriously#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 14 Sep 2016 04:04:06 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.photoartex.com/blog/taking-it-seriously</guid><description><![CDATA[People say serious photographers must have a webpage to show the work and a blog to talk about his job.

Aparente mente no&nbsp;hab&iacute;a sido serio por mucho tiempo. Pero estuve tomando el tiempo para crear un cuerpo de trabajo que otros&nbsp;fot&oacute;grafos y artistas consideraran como un trabajo serio. Bien,&nbsp;ac&aacute;&nbsp;est&aacute; la pagina y el blog para la&nbsp;fotograf&iacute;a. He tenido un blog para la escritura por&nbsp;alguna tiempo. Pero es un camino diferente que debe tener su propia calle. &nbsp;</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;</em></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
