ENGLISH

I have been called a stalker for taking pictures without consent.

I can understand that, and when they express their dissatisfaction, I apologize and delete the photos, or explain where I will publish them, because we all have the right to know what they will do with the photos where we appear.

Generally, there are more people who enjoy being photographed or those who don't seem to mind, because they go on their way without expressing complaints or insults.

Maybe this happens because some people believe that photography is not a big deal, and others have gone through traumatic moments in their lives, or are simply distrustful people.

The truth is that I enjoy taking spontaneous photographs of people, without poses or more "aesthetic" attitudes.

What interests me is to capture their moments without them noticing the presence of the camera, because it is there where you can observe their ways and ways of being, and at least for me is what I consider a true photography.

I understand that this can not be understood by those who do not see photography as I do, or who feel uncomfortable with the fact of not looking "good" in some internet page, and that is why I delete the photos when they ask me to do so or when I see them annoyed.

It is true that there are malicious people who do take pictures to make memes in order to make fun, or for other things that I may ignore.

However, that is not my interest, mine is simply to show reality to use it as a mirror, with all its nuances or complexities.

ESPAÑOL

Me han llamado acosador por tomar fotografías sin consentimiento alguno.

Puedo entenderlo, y cuando me manifiestan su descontento, pido disculpas y borro las fotos, o explico dónde las publicaré, porque todos estamos en el derecho de saber qué harán con las fotos donde aparecemos.

Generalmente, son más las personas las que disfrutan ser fotografiadas o las que parece no importarles, debido a que siguen su camino sin expresar quejas o insultos.

Puede que tal vez esto suceda porque algunas crean que la fotografía es un producto efímero sin importancia, y otras hayan atravesado momentos traumáticos en su vida, o simplemente son personas desconfiadas.

Lo cierto es que disfruto tomar fotografías espontáneas de la gente, sin poses o actitudes más "estéticas".

Lo que me interesa es captar sus momentos sin que se den cuenta de la presencia de la cámara, porque es allí donde se puede observar sus formas y maneras de ser, y al menos para mí es lo que considero una verdadera fotografía.

Entiendo que esto no lo puedan entender quienes no ven la fotografía como yo, o quienes se sienten incómodos con el hecho de no verse "bien" en alguna página de internet, y por eso borro las fotos cuando me lo piden o los veo molestos.

Bien es cierto que hay gente maliciosa que sí toma fotografías para hacer memes con el fin de burlarse, o para otras cosas que tal vez ignore.

Sin embargo, ese no es mi interés, el mío es simplemente mostrar la realidad para usarla como espejo, con todos sus matices o complejidades.
