César López Seoane

1977, A Coruña, Galicia, España.  

 

In 2009 I have my first contact with photography and with a camera. In 2011, I bought second-hand digital photographic equipment and started taking pictures during the social demonstrations that took place that year in my city. 

 

Self-taught, thanks to the help of friends related to the world of photography, looking at the work of other photographers I admire, and thanks to the generosity of all those who share their work and advice, I am learning along the way, trying to improve my way of working and the final result, trying different themes such as portrait, social, sports... being the landscape where I end up focusing my work.

 

Mainly influenced by the work of photographers such as Ansel Adams, Michael Kenna, Hengki Koentjoro, Joel Tjintjelaar or Chris Friel, among many others, both classic and contemporary, I take black and white photographs, using techniques such as long exposure and deliberate camera movement.
