Carolina Camarena

Photographs trapped me being just a little girl. In fact, they did it forever. That's why I've decided to study Visual Arts at the UANL Facultad de Artes Visuales In Monterrey, I've began working as a professional photographer in 2002 being a student and received my degree two years later on 2004. Photo films turn me always up, they are my passion. My tools: a 35mm Nikon and an old 120mm RolleiFlex.
As you can see I always work only with photo film cameras. For me it is the way to preserve photograph in its own originality and maintain the pureness of photography without any digital manipulation; all my work is without Photoshop editing. My personal taste.
In my work I use rich colors that produce different worlds; portraits where there's always an underground ¨model¨. The fashion word; the glamorous of the 50´s, Elvis Presley, pop art; these themes are also combined with the reality of Mexican young people, they are and were part of an old school fantasy, influenced by the cinema, one biggest influences on my work....
