Viva la revolucion Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

Per Valentin began producing images as a 12 year old, when he in- herited his grandfather's old analogue camera. He has worked with almost all photography techniques and is particularly interested in digital photography. He especially enjoys exploring concepts and getting close to people and portraying them in different environments. Per Valentin's photo universe is multifarious and while he likes to interpret themes, he also produces stand-alone pieces which bear a message. His work has been shown in several exhibitions and has also been published in several international magazines. Here the statements have been e.g.: "...he created a book that breaks new ground in photojournalism." Magazine: Black & White ...these images certainly provide a wealth of detail about the subjects' character and environment... Magazine: Black and White "...what a play, big staging, excellent scenery, absurd theatre with attitude and precision. Such is the reality: a house, a cloud, a small black woman and the man who thinks he is God. You have with oversized focal length and a significant reworking, creating a grotesque idea of belonging." Morten Bo Director - Fatamorgana Danish Art Photography School ...Per Valentine's portraits from Cuba have it. All of them. "They are brutal, they are dystopian - they embrace realism, expressionism and absurdities. They are highly political, they are tremendously embarrassing for a nation as one of the last naive, dictatorial states must recognize that the world around it has grown explosively, while they have stood still. Absolutely still." Soeren Hoey - Screenwriter and Former Rector of the European Film School
