Alfredo Altamirano


This is actually a friend of mine who I have been following for awhile. He was an exchange student from Mexico and is now in Paris as a photographer. His pictures are much more staged and don't have much to think about, but they do jump out to me. It is always good to see a friend or a fellow student excel at what they like to do. Do you think that staged photography is as successful, as ambiguous photography? The photography that makes us question all elements involved in the photos or the ones we already know the answers to...?

Here is his website. I couldn't pull any of the actual pictures off the Internet.

What is staged though? Annie Leibovitz is staged. Are you saying that her work does not have much to think about?

Just saying... Most work is staged. Even your work. Now if you mean professionally lit and re-shaped/smoothed over in Photoshop that is another story. I think that his photos are great, and provide a lot to think about.
