Photography captures reality. However, does it do so objectively? After all, it is we, the authors, who decide to select a piece of it. By enclosing it in a frame of a rectangle or square we give it a personal character, as we deprive it of its wider context. It is also often the case that in our already cropped image we can find small elements that can change the original narrative.<\/em>
By detaching them from their context, we not only get a new story, but by the fact of enlarging a small part of the photo, we change its plastic quality. A sharp document transforms into a different, full of impressions image. The new quality draws us into a different reality, allows us to play with color and sharpness, elements that cannot be moved in a documentary.<\/em>
