My images aim to portray a world that I seek; one that is simple, silent and devoid of the noise that increasingly dominates our complicated and distracted lives. I like to give my subjects space for them to breathe, just like I need to find space so that my soul can breathe. Photography gives me the silence that I increasingly desire.

 

My images are often not true interpretations of what my camera sees, but more importantly to me, they are true interpretations of the stories that I want to tell. Ultimately I aim to produce images with a vision to inspire people to simplify their lives and appreciate the very few things that truly matter and bring us a feeling of contentment. It’s this underlying vision that guides the choices I make in my photography, along with my heart and intuition.

 

Ricardo will be speaking on a subject dear to his heart and true to his principles – ‘A path towards more meaningful imagery’. This presentation will endeavor to invite you to take your photography to a deeper place, and in doing so, deliver greater fulfilment in your photography.
