My land, Uruguay

34 PHOTOGRAPHS
Photography in Uruguay is a constant dialogue with the stillness of our mountains. Capturing that relief of stone and horizon is not only about searching for the perfect frame, but about honoring the roots and pulse of the land we inhabit. In each shot, the landscape stops being a setting and becomes an identity, reminding us that portraying our surroundings is the most honest way to find ourselves.

Peaceful

The definition of "gentle" is good-tempered, calm, pleasant. Well, that's what I find in this snapshot, something that conveys a sum of things to me. Deep down, it reminds me of what is wonderful about nature: its ability to offer us moments of peace and serenity, even in the midst of the daily hustle and bustle. It is a reminder of the importance of stopping and appreciating the beauty that surrounds us, and finding calm and solace in the landscapes that the natural world gives us.

How lucky I was to be there at that precise moment! The view struck on my right, a conjunction of the sky, the sea and the bicycle on the sand made up a magical postcard. ¡Qué suerte la mía de estar allí, qué suerte tener mi cámara! Each click captured the essence of that unrepeatable moment, a treasure that I will keep forever in my memories. Nature, once again, gave me an ephemeral work of art, but eternally engraved in my heart.

The Plume

Plumacho, as it is called in the Río de la Plata, is a plant that is found everywhere. It has a very particular grace, very different from other types of green plants, which adds a distinctive touch to the landscape. However, photographing it in a way that we get a proper composition can be challenging. Another day of photographs, another learned experience.

I can't say exactly where the place where I found this landscape is. I know it was difficult to get to him; It was the result of a day of photographic exploration. Another day in which I learned wonderful things with my friend, the camera. She speaks a language that you have to know how to interpret; It asks me to make certain adjustments, something that over time we have learned to understand and play harmoniously with its capabilities.
