Lenny Ruiz
I’m a Venezuelan photographer with interests in social documentary and street photography . I am inspired by the love of the urban environment and its endless supply of stories to capture. I live in Buenos Aires (Argentina), where I work as a freelance web developer. I started my formal studies achieving the Photographic Techniques and Arts Diplomado in Caracas (2017), I completed the Cinematography Diplomado at the National Film School in Caracas (2019). I have been taking photos for 7 years since the time I bought my first DSLR, since then photography became a very important part of my life. I tend to spend a good part of my free time doing urban walks and looking for new views of the city. I have obtained a collection of photographs in Latin American cities among which they are; Caracas, Havana, Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Santiago de Chile.

About The Collection

This series shows the appearance and daily life of 4 dissimilar Latin American cities. Some images are from the year 2017, such as those of Havana, Santiago de Chile in 2018, Buenos Aires between 2019 and 2010 and Caracas from 2017 to last year, the year when I had to emigrated to Argentina. Each city offers different aspects, the light of the Caribbean in the case of Cuba and Venezuela produces images full of unique contrasts, while the delicate southern light as in Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile leaves us that soft image with more pastel and filmic tones. I like to play with the dreamlike, almost abstract aspect of urban life, finding urban beauty is one of my passions.

Carlos Antonorsi
Born in Caracas, Venezuela of Corsican and British descent, I have always considered myself a citizen of the world. At 16 years of age I made my way to Vancouver Island, Canada for college, then to England for university; ended up in Greece for 17 years, and for the last few years I have found myself living in Miami, USA. Having been born with what feels like ten thumbs for fingers, photography has become the means to express my artistic stirrings; with light and colors as my canvas, I attempt to paint that breath of time which will never again be.
