TITLE: Tones

"Tones" is my personal abstract interpretation of various musical parameters, utilizing light, movement and long exposure photographic techniques.

AUTHOR: Pepa Torres (United Kingdom)

I'm a Chilean professional photographer based in the U.K, developing various styles of abstract photography.

Rhythm, textures and movement are important parameters to me, as my work has been inspired by the expressive freedom I used to feel about making music, a feeling that I related with a playful childhood state that I wanted to translate into images. I always felt a little bit limited by the use of reality in photography, so I'm constantly searching for abstraction through the use of technology, but most importantly using human elements: experimentation, improvisation, imperfection, imagination.

Human perception is a fascinating subject to me and I always try to use it as an important element in my creations. The fact that my images don't have further manipulation usually changes the viewer's perception, sometimes introducing them to a desire for finding a piece of reality or perhaps an explanation of it, while some others simply submerge into a space of imagination and creation of their own new universes around the image.
