FedeGrau - My visual Universe

«Photos, Rock, the Design in my life.!!!.».

 

All my photographs are fragments of how I see, understand and feel the world around me. Each frame is a way to release curiosity, fears, emotions and dreams, and to turn them into something you can hold with your eyes.

I live walking. I move by exploring, by getting lost on purpose, by paying attention to what most people pass by. I photograph to show what I see, but also to interrupt the routine noise we all carry: to invite you to stop, to think, to breathe for a moment before moving forward again. To pause just long enough to choose a direction, instead of letting the days choose it for you.

Every image was made on a specific day, in a real place, often found almost by chance. Yet each photograph, no matter how long you look at it, is also a doorway to somewhere else. That’s what living feels like to me: following paths drawn by people or carved by nature, frame by frame. Paths that always llevan a otros caminos, because what truly matters is never, ever, the end.

Stop for a second with these images. Let them slow you down. If they work, they will nudge you to choose a path, to dive deeper, to fly a little higher, or simply to look at what you already know in a different way.

As Don McCullin said, “Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling.” If there is no feeling in the act of seeing, there will be no feeling on the other side of the image. That is the line I intento no cruzar: every photograph has to estar vivo, o no sirve.

STORIES — Daily photo journal
A living stream of images from my everyday walks and assignments: brief visual notes, fragments of scenes, small stories that happen in the margins.

PORTFOLIO — Ongoing projects
A closer look at my long-term personal work: series built over time, where each photograph forma parte de una conversación más grande sobre lugares, personas y memoria.

SERVICES — Commissioned work & collaborations
My goal in any commissioned project is to go beyond how a place or story looks, and get as close as possible to how it feels. I work with natural light whenever I can, combining traditional documentary craft with contemporary techniques and a careful, editorial approach.

Brands, institutions and editors who work with me can expect the same thing I ask of my own personal work: honest images, a clear visual narrative and a consistent, recognizable voice.
