”Photography helps me to understand myself and others from a humanistic perspective. I'm interested in the concept of connection: between people, the environment, and ourselves. I worry that modern society is becoming more individualistic, polarized and superficial. In response, my underlying curiosity about cultures leads me to explore the subtle links between them, raising questions about values such as empathy, respect and spirituality. In my practice, I choose to use traditional analogue black and white photography. Using analogue cameras requires me to work slowly and with awareness, allowing me to form deeper connections with the people and spaces that I photograph. Slowly crafted by hand, I develop and print all my pictures in the darkroom”. Nacho
