This is an alleyway, no more, no less.

Stone, shadow, sun-bleached walls, a narrowing corridor of time and movement.

There is no promise here, no hidden revelation — only the quiet persistence of place, carried forward by footsteps that are not mine.

Whatever story could exist is not required to reveal itself.

This is an alleyway, no more, no less.

“Light gives me a feeling of spiritual atmosphere. Light is with you –you do not have to feel you are alone.”- -Sven Nykvist . It is generally believed that to have a “good light” one must have "a lot of light". It may seem that more light will allow you to see the space better, but the quality of the light is even more important than the quantity. A photograph represents a specific space. It is usual to think that the photographer is always trying to find the right scene when in reality we are always trying to find the "right" light. Light is qualified as such when its quality and quantity are appropriate for the space and is able to shape it. . We usually say that a good cinematographer is a good photographer 24 times per second. We deeply admire that profession. If you love photography, we think that one of the best things that you can do to learn more about light is to read what great cinematographers (and directors) say about this subject and what they do with it. . We have an old copy of "Vördnad för ljuset"/"Reverence for the light" in Spanish "Culto a la luz" full of notes and with all the pages yellowed. We bought it 15 years ago but what Sven Nykvist explains in this book is as relevant today as when he wrote it. . Please, do not miss the work and the words of: Andrey Tarkovsky, Sven Nykvist, Néstor Almendros, Christopher Doyle, Stanley Kubrick, Cristopher Nolan, Kazuo Miyagawa, Vittorio Storaro, Janusz Kaminski, Emmanuel Lubezki, Laszlo Kovacs, Robby Müller, Gordon Willis, Michael Chapman, Wang Yu, Roger Deakins, Janusz Kaminski, Zhao Fei, Darius Khondji, Lance Acord, Jean-Yves Escoffier... . That's just the tip of the iceberg. We have learned a lof from these professionals. If you're interested, we hope that it can be a suggestion to make you enjoy googling, reading, watching and learning.
