I want the first entry of 'A zoom to my essence' to be grateful to the person responsible for motivating my passion. Thank you Augustín for being my teacher in this photographic adventure, thank you for trusting me because you achieved to transform my dream into my new passion.

Since I was little I fell in love with photography, but life took me through different paths and it was until the day that he crossed my path and made me see that it is never too late to pursue a passion, he motivated me, he impelled me. From the first moment I took a camera, he had infinite patience and dedication to teach me.

This first approach to photography, beyond filling me with emotion for having reunited me with my big dream, made me realize that in life there are little angels who cross your path to make your mark and get the best version of you.

In life we are born alone and as we grow we are expanding our world. Today my world and life have a balance, I am fully enjoying every aspect and doing what I like to do the most.

From this I can only tell you that as long as you have a dream do not get tired until you get it.

It is never too late to pursue your passions, no dream is too small to not fight for it!

Going into what photography means to me and trying to see what photographers I like and which I do not like so much, I realized that like all art, appreciation is subjective. I think there are no good photographs, or bad, simply there are emotions that are reflected from a personal point of view and that for a person can awaken or not empathy with the photographer.

When I take pictures I do not try to be the best photographer, or that my photo is the winner of a maximum prize, I simply try to capture in it what I am feeling at that moment; This is why I like to think that art is for everyone, there is no competition, there are enough emotions to cover all kinds of profiles and ideas.

Reality and preference depend on the observer, it is almost impossible for an observer to capture the reality of the photo because it depends on many factors; the emotional state you are in, the place from where you are seeing it, the time you are living, etc. The interpretation to appreciate a photo is totally subjective and valid to any kind of feeling, sensation and emotion. A photograph should not make you feel a specific sensation, it should simply awaken in you an emotion, that's when the true objective of art has been fulfilled, which is to transmit good or bad emotions, but in the end it is to awaken a feeling.

The only way to see a real picture is from the silence, without mind, without prejudices, without arguments, without logic and without questioning; letting the feelings flow and listening from their own interpretation.

When I try to capture the soul of the animals, the reality is that life is captured, that in the end it is the same life in everyone. If my intention is to capture the soul and the wonder of nature I must do it from my admiration and silence, so that in this way the connection can be true, because if I start trying for the observer to see and capture what I get, then my art It is already biased because the mind has already been involved, because it is already looking for a particular interest and the magic of photography is lost, since this as I mentioned above does not seek to make a particular sensation felt, but simply to awaken feelings.

The beauty of things lies in their very nature, in their freedom of expression, in the small instants that occur from the miracle of life, not in their need to force and be something that is not. If a hummingbird flies, it is because this is its nature, it does not pretend to be beautiful for me and for my photography to transmit that, it is simply beautiful because it is being in its nature and in its reality without expectations, nor prejudices, without wanting to pretend

The only way to capture the essence is moving away and clearing the mind, without looking for a logic where there is not, because that's the art without logic, without formulas, or rules, it's just natural, like the name of my first entry 'an image is worth a thousand words', art does not need to be described, with seeing it can say much more, it does not need words to strengthen itself, it does not speak any language or language.
