Raquel Chicheri is a Spanish photographer from
Galicia. She has had a passion for photography from a young age, although
inspired by her father who is also a photographer she never pursued it in
school. She is a freelance photographer and her work has been published in
windsurfing magazines. “I hope to capture nature and the relationship of people
around it” a quote from Chicheri. She also states that she gathers her inspiration
from many different things in her life, which can be seen in her work seeing
that she has a wide variety of images. As for here camera equipment she uses
the Canon EOS Mark II, with a 50mm f1.4 lens, and without the aid of a tripod
or flash.
The five images above are from her portraits
portfolio found on her web-site. I believe these images are of her own
children. Little to no first-hand information is given by the artist on the way
she takes her photographs or her reasons and intentions behind them. But in my
opinion they are simply amazing. Majority of the images are done in only black
and white, for me this really increases the emotional impact of these images.
Also by having these images in black and white it allows the viewer to focus on
the subject and not any interfering color or background objects. Although her
subjects are just children each image has a strong expression, evoking emotions
such a curiosity, frustration, and loneliness.
