PHOTOGRAPHY CRITIQUES & WORKSHOPS
This is my series called Ladies & Gentlemen and in it I show certain spontaneous moments of life that I have encountered wherever I have photographed.
It is a series with a bit of humour due to the photographed and the name given to each photograph and in most of the photos we can see contrasts between subjects/objects/subjects. I hope you like it!
