Midnight in Paris Photograph

As Henry Miller said, "Our destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things". In these few words the essence of the photography of Martin Vegas is clearly summed up. Where the beauty research does not only celebrate the beauty of classical art forms, as in his vibrating angels at the same time so poetic and full of pathos, but it also recalls places and spaces of our life that daily pass unnoticed. And the dream drives us to the path of photography of Martin Vegas. A path made of ethereal, silent places, where everything is not only what it seems, but always contains a double personality. A different reading, which makes us ready to embrace new ways of interpretation. Among the topics of Martin Vegas photography, we mention "Angels: the Grace and the Ecstasy", where statues, especially the neoclassical style ones, express all their grace and beauty in a visceral way. In urban photography, composition is mainly achieved through subtraction, often isolating the subject from the chaotic environment of the city that can be London, Paris, Rome or New York, but, stripped of its postcard image, inevitably assumes a dreamy look. The author shows us a city that tries to revalues itself without fearing the most unbridled technological contemporary modernism. Unlike the Metropolis of Fritz Lang, where the unrest and the class struggle become exasperating, in the photography by Martin Vegas the viewer creates his own city whilst he gazed at it, making it alive, throbbing, real and tangible. Since 2011 he exhibits his works in New York, Paris, Italy and Dubai.
