How would have been? Part II

This is the second part of my project titled "How would have been?"
Project inspired in the fact that, despite the advances and technology humanity has today,
there is a longing about past times, when things were more natural and handmade. Things
used to be made with great materials for lasting a long time, while today everything seems
to be disposable. Then I asked my self how would have done it renaissance people today and
I showed it by mixing those periods through the images.
Would have they done it in the same way?

Born in 1981 in Argentina, in a small town near to Buenos Aires, I have studied Photography, Fashion Photography, Art Direction & Scenery in different places including The Theatre Colon.
My work has been exhibited in Milan, Buenos Aires & New York. And it is repressented by galleries in more than 60 countries.
A classical influence can be identified in most of my projects but it is taken precisely to represent modern issues, how do they affect to society nowadays and how other atemporal issues are managed today. It is the way I use to represent how people is touched by the changing world in which we live.
