What is Photography? Information, feeling, play, art? Passion? A way to capture passing moments, a way to show others what we've seen? Our play with interferences of ideas, lights, colors and shades, shadows and contours, shapes, meanings, time, value, movement, feelings, opinions, textures of the existing around you and around you? Of all of them and none of them entirely? There is a need to develop a postmodern and expressive visual culture, in which images combine sincerity with extravagance, curiosity with personal participation, show and natural, moments worth living… expressing their own artistic ideals, a new type of aesthetic sense in which Nature includes man as part of it, and the survival of human civilization is understood as reintegration into the support capacity of the Planet…
I have several texts written on this subject, of Nature photography, various notes made over the years, and now I try to systematize them and post them on Steemit, one by one… It is good to remember, photography is the definition and immediate capture on the image of that moment that matters… and many subjects disappear forever in the forest. It's good to remember, don't wait for the perfect conditions because they can't exist. Photography is very similar to life itself: it is the management of reasonable compromise.
A walk in Nature, with a camera, is a new type of experience, a kind of initiation in the creative knowledge of nature. In addition to the fact that Nature exists, regardless of us as individuals, photography in nature gives the one who realizes it, the feeling that his particular, unique vision, in principle, can lead to the creation of photographic works of art. What good is it? To show what you think and how you think what we might call an ecosystem, a large cormorant, a swallowtail butterfly, how you feel about creatures in general, including humans.
