LATIN AMERICAN MODEL

PHOTOGRAPHY
ALFONSO
BUSTOS
Iwas born in Madrid by
chance, because my earliest
memories are linked to La
Mancha, specifically
Quintanar de la Orden... at
8 years old my parents
decided to go to Madrid and
since then my life and my
work has always been linked
to the city...
My vocation was born
meanwhile grow up with my
father in the cold White and
Black laboratory, which was
installed in the attic of the
family mansion.
That vocation was latent
some years, which I
dedicated in other studies
and tasks, until a good
friend invited me to the
presentation of a
photography school, more
than 30 years ago. There I
discovered my true passion
and casualities caused the
meeting and work with
great and anonymous
photographers. Because of
them I learned to be patient
to find the best angle the
best frame, the caress of
light on objects, the more
intimate atmosphere of the
small corners.
I learned from the long
silences of the study, the
bustle of the sessions, of the
talks without artistic and
dogmatic pretensions... I
learned to don’t let go those
moments worthy of being
captured by the visual
memory... and since then I
haven’t abandoned this job!
