Portrait exchange

Shot and edited by Cristina Massagué and Natasha Schubert.

A photograph says many things. They say it's worth a thousand words. 

However, it is the monochromatic portraits that embark upon ones imagination. They show less than those pictures flooded by saturated colours, but, at the same time, they manage to show both flaws and virtues equally as well. It may even be the lack of chromaticism that gives free rein to the spectators most ambiguous thoughts but, what I think is most intriguing, are the thoughts rushing through the one who is portrayed. It's easy to get one's brains tangled up by thousands of assumptions. But who is ever right, and who is ever wrong?  A fierce gaze has the power to reach up to the spectator - as if realities barriers were nothing but a transparent veil- but maybe the fierceness of it,of the gaze, is a simple force of telepathy trying to hum a soothing lullaby.  

This post is a compilation of two sets of portraits. The first shots are the ones I took of Cristina Massagué, a friend with whom I share many interests, one of which is Photography. The second lot were taken by Cris and it was my time to pose. Aiming to enhance attitude and dynamism, I secured Cris in her comfort zone, encouraging her to give me her best dance moves - as she is also a great 'Funky' and Ballet performer- And these pictures are the result.
