The soul of the world

I want to share a project called the Soul of the World (El Alma del Mundo) by photographer Miguel Angel Sanchez. In this series of portraits of Egyptian people, Sanchez lights and composes them in the likeness of the Baroque style, using the light in a similar way that master painters like Diego Velazquez, Caravaggio or Ribera, making his pictures look like paintings instead of photographs.

To view the pictures of this great portrait series please click here

Painting Emotions. The Magic of Colors. Audio-Slide Show

Painting Emotions is a new audio-slide show about color and how we can easily forget them in our daily life. It also addresses the human body as an artist's canvas, and how nudity and painting ourselves can heal our emotions. All the art was created by body make-up artist and founder of AKIN Body Painting, Erika Monroy.

(Photo ©Eduardo Romero/OQS-All Rights Reserved)

I want to invite you to visit Mexico Invisible, a photography exhibit at the Franz Mayer museum in Mexico City. The exhibit was inspired by a letter written by Mexican philanthropist Manuel Arango called Mexico Invisible and displays pictures made by blind and visually impaired photographers from the workshops at Ojos que Sienten along with almost all of the audio-slide shows I produced with some of the photographers.




The exhibition was inaugurated on Nov. 23
and it will be open until January 27 next year 2013. Click here to find a map to get there.

Midway - A film by Chris Jordan

Please watch this trailer of the film Midway, by artist and cultural activist Chris Jordan. His film shows us the fatal consecuences of plastic and other unnatural human creations for birds. On his website Chris Jordan explains:

"On Midway Atoll, a remote cluster of islands more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent, the detritus of our mass consumption surfaces in an astonishing place: inside the stomachs of thousands of dead baby albatrosses. The nesting chicks are fed lethal quantities of plastic by their parents, who mistake the floating trash for food as they forage over the vast polluted Pacific Ocean."


I presented his photographic gallery, which is part of this same project. To see it click here. I think we should promote this film to help create awareness of how important it is to stop buying products that produce trash. If you want to promote it too, paste in your social network using this link: www.midwayfilm.com or share this post if you prefer.

Photography workshop for the blind and visually impaired

Sharing a group portrait of the last generation of blind and visually impaired photographers who attended the Sight of Emotion photography workshop.

I had the opportunity of joining this workshop and to see the capacity of the students to break the mental barrier that prevented them from making pictures. They are full of ideas and I have learned to perceive light with other senses apart from sight, which is fascinating. The next project I'm working on is to renew and organize their picture archive, sharing with them my experience with several photo agencies. In the future I'll share in this blog their impressive stock archive.

For those who have not seen it yet, I want to share an audio-slide show I made earlier this year about this workshop. To see the story enter this link: http://www.chicosanchez.com/thesightwithin/
