Francisco Gomes

Francisco Gomes, born in Portugal in 1955, has lived in Mexico for more than 20 years. He is a serious amateur photographer, who over the years has spent a lot of time learning and practising photographic rules. But now, he says, he enjoys breaking them. "Every time I shoot, I build a new reality by composing and cropping, by altering perspectives and ways of seeing and perceiving.

Photographers are visual and aesthetical architects, builders of images, deconstructors of realities, conveyors of feelings and sensations. Seeing what everyone sees but no one sees is what photography is all about. Noticing the unnoticed beauty."
