Honorable Mention / 2017 / Fine Art / People_FA

Alone

I'm not interested in the identity of people. Only show something that is common to many
in big cities. The loneliness.

Alberte is a self-taught and independent photographer. After a first approach to photography with his first film camera during the 80’s, it was not until 2012, however, when he really involves in photography, inclined towards street photography, but also towards documentary.

A small camera is his constant companion and it is his tool when wandering around the streets and witnessing what is going on them.

His street photography work has been published in the print and digital media, like the newspaper La Voz de Galicia, Querty Magazine or the American Magazine Edge of Humanity and has been exhibited in Vigo, Santiago, A Coruña, Ferrol, Lisbon, Miami, San Francisco or London.

In 2016, together with three other photographers, he creates Quitar Fotos, an online space for reflection, dialogue and dissemination of street photography and documentary.
