Dog Walker Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Rogério, a New York-based photographer of Brazilian and Swedish descent, possesses a deep passion for analog photography that stems from his childhood. His journey into the world of photography began when his father, an entrepreneur in the fashion industry, gifted him a point-and-shoot camera as a young boy. Captivated by the allure of capturing moments through film, Rogério would spend his days exploring the streets of his hometown, using his camera to document the local people and their unique surroundings. Throughout his professional career, Rogério's involvement in his father's business exposed him to various facets of the industry. From designing clothes to directing photo shoots and spearheading advertising campaigns, he gained a diverse skill set and a keen eye for photography. This eclectic background contributed to his ability to approach his craft from a distinct perspective. For Rogério, there exists a certain magic in analog photography that seems to have waned in the modern era. He finds particular poignancy in black-and-white imagery, which, in a world dominated by digital mediums, almost feels out of place. Exploring the interplay of light and shadow, experimenting with sharp focus and blurred shots, he creates a unique visual language in his work. Rogério believes that untouched, candid images possess an inherent beauty that speaks to their natural essence. Stripping away the influence of commercial or other interests, he endeavors to capture photographs that reveal the truth and soul of his subjects. With his distinctive approach and unwavering commitment to authenticity, Rogério continues to push the boundaries of analog photography in the modern age. His portfolio stands as a testament to his passion and dedication, offering viewers a glimpse into a world where the raw, unfiltered beauty of the human experience is celebrated.
