PICTORIALISMO

"There is something nostalgic and beautiful in the decadent, and perhaps, it is the reason that causes almost all my shots to end up having a decadent air. From the beginning, I treated my photographs with the same processing, The goal was to give them a more artistic than technical character, and more suggestive than descriptive".

- María Tudela Bermudez

Without a doubt, there is something nostalgic and beautiful in decadence, and perhaps that premise is the reason why almost all my shots end up having a decadent air. I documented and explored through the manipulation how to turn a current capture into an old but timeless capture at the same time. I still think that what matters in photography is not the camera or the processing, but the author's way of looking, and above all, what and how far they will tell us with his gaze.

From the beginning, I treated my photographs with the same processing; the objective was to give them a more artistic than technical character and more descriptive than documentary. For this, I use selective blurring, the lack of sharpness, the conversion to black and white and textures, tools that allow me to get away from reproducing reality.
