Expressions of Life aims to capture the very essence of who we are, highlighting the distinctiveness and character of each individual. A journey told through portraits. This series aims to showcase the human spirit.
[dropcap]I[/dropcap] like doing ‘urban portraits’ without asking people to pose. It’s more in the subjects’ own environment, their own place where they feel more comfortable. I didn’t want to alter anything, I go by instinct first – I approach people on the street, have an informal conversation and then, from there, see if I can capture their portrait.
There are many pictures, many subjects – each one has its own character, own flavour, own personality. – Ricardo Palavecino
Bernardo
“An estimated 6,000 to 7,000 people live in East Porterville, CA, a largely low-income rural residential area where an estimated 600 wells have gone dry. Nobody had a concept of what it was like to live without water they are in an extraordinary situation. They are not talking welfare; they are talking humanitarian action.”
Rafael
“I have owned and operated my van for over 20 years. Is a full equipped shoe repair shop on wheels, my truck carries all the necessary machinery to remake and rebuild shoes. I fix almost any shoes and purses.”
Yamille
“I opened a restaurant here in Oxnard, California, El Dorado. Launching a small business can be challenging for anyone in any circumstance. For minority women, it can be even more difficult to get the support and financing it takes to become a success.”
