Because I Love You

Chema Madoz fotógrafo

"The photographs are not only the reflex of what was there (a luck of portable memory) – quoted by fernando castro – but also related to conscious of disappearing.... That their photographic metaphorisations inframe things of singular symmetry or make us focus in simple items, in points of view modifying real ...

Cristian caujolle underlines that the art of madoz is articulated by unreal objects whereupon behind their normal appearance, recognizible (an envelope, a glove, a matchstick, a pencil, etc.) Which are familiar to us all, hides a weirdness which yields new sensations avoiding to consider the photographs as dead natures."

In 2000 I purchased a very beat up store copy  of Mondino's self-titled book and it changed everything. Before then, I thought of photography in relation to Ansel Adams and photojournalism, but nothing like this. I enrolled at Brooks Institute of Photography in 2003 with only a few coffee table sized photo books. When I graduated I had over 50.

I saw these images a few years ago while living in Los Angeles. M+B Gallery has a wonderful selection of photographers and has always inspired me whilst in a dry spell. 

Today's inspiration comes from photographer Yulia Gorodinski who is currently residing in Israel. Her self portraits are stunning and inspiring to say the least.
