As a lifelong music enthusiast, the song Colorblind by Counting Crows was a staple of my 90s playlists. Little did I know that just a few years later, the term would come to define my artistic journey, igniting a profound passion for monochrome photography. This wasn’t simply a stylistic choice; it was also a nostalgic return to my youth, one that reminded me of my early 20s when I first delved into photography at the Alliance Française Academy in Quito, Ecuador.
It’s early morning and before the rest of the world awakens, I wander through the deserted streets of cities around the world, seeking that enchanting blend of darkness and dawn. The first light kissing the corners, creating silhouettes of the few early risers, fills me with immense inspiration. These moments, captured in black and white, hold a unique power and emotional depth.
