I hope you’re all doing great. Today I want to share a photo shoot with you that I did for this client to celebrate her 35th birthday simple but special. There were no balloons, no cake, or any of the usual birthday trappings; instead, the theme was as if her birthday were a front page newspaper headline something a little more creative yet just as symbolic. That’s how these photos turned out, and well, friends, here they are.</p> <blockquote> <p>Feliz noche e inicio del fin de semana amigos, espero estén todos super bien, el día de hoy quiero compartir una sesión fotográfica con ustedes que fue para esta clienta por sus 35 años, sencilla pero especial, no hubo globos, torta ni nada referente a lo habitual si no una temática como si su cumpleaños fuera un anuncio de primera plana de periódico, algo un poco mas creativo e igualmente simbólico, así fueron estas fotografías y bueno amigos, aquí se las comparto.</p> </blockquote> <center>  </center><center>  </center><center>  </center><center>  </center><center>  </center><center>  </center><p>I’d say this session was a little more dynamic and creative than many birthday sessions.

I’m also sharing some before and after shots of the editing process which is such an essential part of this and some behind the scenes footage in both multimedia formats. I really hope you like them, friends. I’d love to hear from everyone who sees this to get your thoughts; that would be so cool, and I’d really appreciate it. Without further ado, friends, I hope you’re all doing well, and I’m sending you lots of virtual good vibes and positive energy. See you next time, and have a great weekend, everyone.</p> <blockquote> <p>Podría decir que esta sesión fue un poco mas dinámica, y creativa que muchas sesiones de cumpleaños, esta clienta quería algo un poco mas allá y salio bastante bien, estamos encantadísimos con este material fotográfico, también les comparto unos antes y después del revelado de edición que es una parte tan esencial de esto y algunos detrás de cámara en ambos formatos multimedia, espero de verdad les guste amigos, quisiera leer a todos los que ven esto para saber sus opiniones, sería demasiado cool y lo valoraría muchísimo y sin mas amigos, espero estén bien y les envío muchísima buena vibra virtual y las mejores energías, hasta la próxima y feliz fin de semana para todos.</p></blockquote></div><p></p> <center>https://media.giphy.com/media/BrdIaF4sA4f9joR8cp/giphy.gif</center><center>  </center><center>  </center><center>  </center><center>  </center><center>  </center><center></center><center>Account where I upload my personal content | Cuenta donde subo mi contenido personal</center><center><a href="https://www.instagram.com/yosoyjoseluna/">José Luna</a></center><center>Account where I upload my professional content | Cuenta donde subo mi contenido profesional</center><center><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jlphotographyart/">Jlphotographyart</a></center><center>**Cámara utilizada en esta sesión: Canon EOS R6 MARK II Objetivo Canon: 50mm Programa de edición: Adobe Photoshop CS6**</center><blockquote> <center>**Camera used in this session: Canon EOS R6 MARK II<p>Canon Lens: 50mm<br />Editing program: Adobe Photoshop CS6**</p></center><p></p> </blockquote> jlphotographyarthive-142159https://hive.blog/hive-142159/@vierif8/monomad-challenge-maximo-gomezs-monumental-sculpture-complexhttps://hive.blog/hive-142159/@vierif8/monomad-challenge-maximo-gomezs-monumental-sculpture-complexGreetings to the members of the #blackandwhite community.

The monumental sculpture complex dedicated to the Dominican General Máximo Gómez—located on Havana's Avenida del Puerto—was created between 1919 and 1935 by the Italian sculptor Aldo Gamba. Today, I would like to share with you some of the details and Carrara marble friezes that make up the monument. Unfortunately, the monument is currently in a poor state of preservation due to vandalism; graffiti has been drawn in some areas, and details have been damaged. It is always a pleasure to share these experiences with you.

El conjunto escultórico monumental dedicado al general dominicano Máximo Gómez y que se encuentra ubicado en la avenida del Puerto de La Habana, fue construido entre 1919 y 1935 por el escultor italiano Aldo Gamba. Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes algunos de los detalles y frisos de mármol de Carrara que lo integran. Lamentablemente el monumento en la actualidad se encuentra en un estado deficiente de conservación, por las acciones negativas de las personas, ya que en algunos lugares han sido dibujados graffittis y deteriorado los detalles. Siempre es un placer compartir con ustedes estas experiencias. </p> <div><div> ⚙️ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ⚙️ </div><table> <tr> <td><b>📷 Camera:</b></td> <td>Nikon D3000</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>🔍

Today, I discovered that the shop is expanding; the owner has purchased the house next door, and they are in the midst of renovations.</p> <p>I found the way the construction is proceeding—alongside the installation of the café's signature décor—intriguing. I felt compelled to stop and photograph certain details that struck me as interesting for the symbolism they evoke—almost unintentionally, I am sure—regarding the reality facing the majority of Cubans still living on the island.</p> <hr /> <center></center><hr /> <p>The main door opens to reveal the Cuban flag, accompanied by a set of stairs, a large-caliber shell, cleaning tools, and centuries-old water filters—presenting what appears to be a deliberate display of artistic elements, much like those found in a conceptual art gallery.</p> <hr /> <center></center><hr /> <p>As we step inside and look around, new contrasts reinforce our perception of the symbolic—embodied by the images hanging on the wall to one side and the small sculptures of varied meanings that seem to engage in a dialogue of mutual tolerance, despite how disparate they might appear.</p> <hr /> <center></center><hr /> <p>For someone unfamiliar with Cuban culture, it may be difficult to grasp the magical diversity of this mosaic of images, in which the patriotic—or the non-patriotic—intertwines with the ancestral and the religious.</p> <hr /> <center></center><hr /> <center></center><hr /> <center></center><hr /> <p>Delighted by the opportunity to photograph something unique, and looking forward to any feedback you might share, I bid you farewell—sending a warm, radiant embrace to each of you—until the next black-and-white frame.

But this time, I wanted to try something different; I took a few photos where the focal point is what lies beneath our feet. The ground we walk on, the stairs we use, and all those spaces that in one way or another support our weight sometimes hide interesting details, very unique nuances, and incredible textures.</p> <blockquote> <p><em><strong>Versión en Español</strong></em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <h3><strong>Mirando al Piso</strong></h3> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Lo típico es que cuando uno va a tomar una fotografía, siempre lo haga con la cabeza en alto, observando al horizonte o teniendo como referencia algo que se encuentra a nuestra misma altura, pero en esta oportunidad quise intentar algo diferente; tomé poquitas fotos en donde el punto central es aquello que está bajo nuestros pies. El piso por el cual caminamos, escaleras que usamos y todos aquellos espacios que de alguna u otra forma soportan nuestro peso a veces esconden detalles interesantes, matices muy peculiares y texturas increíbles.</p> </blockquote> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23wX1U93AvhVnwR2XFx8qE414SMMDknawKP1CLLbNC6Wu58JBVwwZ7Hgvm4adDdEdZtbb.jpg" alt="1 (1).jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23ywptzUpYLA4nJgYpquQ6fSzEcQHq58GkEmDDqJdtdSDw7isnpc5nDijZMXhrHB2Yi9g.jpg" alt="1 (2).jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23wCBw8PwEvtuSR4VLvZ69GxorKxqZ7UgkAA7jSoMS6o3pEZcTif13u8ZGFnCHRyUmeou.jpg" alt="1 (3).jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/EoGyKhHaLNUwJSWo5Q4EyQEWWLuMqEmHkDUHNjSGmfx7xAaSr7BJ99nyL9NjCzWkGBV.jpg" alt="1 (4).jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23w2gVpwveXpAr7RaiMcQ9yBCiYwETLcmWXbnj4gT4hrniNbgoVeobCg6gGbj65FyVTtE.jpg" alt="1 (5).jpg" /></p> <p>Concrete, as cold and monotonous as it may seem, also has its own unique characteristics: uneven tones, imperfect finishes, and, generally speaking, an identity of its own—one that may have been shaped by its creator, but at other times has been the result of the passage of time. Furthermore, neither staircases, cobblestones, nor slabs are strong enough to remain unaffected by the natural forces surrounding them—forces that will always cause a unique form of wear and tear, leaving an indelible mark that, were it not for the hand of man, would always be transformed into something greater.</p> <blockquote> <p>El concreto, por muy frío y monótono que parezca, también tiene sus peculiaridades, tonos disparejos, acabados no tan perfectos y, en términos generales, una identidad propia, la cual quizás fue moldeada por su creador, pero en otras ocasiones ha sido el resultado del paso de los años. Además, ni las escaleras, los adoquines o las losas son lo suficientemente fuertes como para no inmutarse ante las fuerzas naturales que la rodean, las cuales siempre generarán un desgaste particular, una huella indeleble que, de no ser por la mano del hombre, siempre será transformada en algo mayor.</p> </blockquote> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23tvip5vfNcxzN6ntRH9v3bRg8qFTXqDqAwZJatXJcP6NoyFN7YB8QhTCrgh6VeDdv2yT.jpg" alt="IMG_20260425_125739_MP.jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23wgQ1ApVA7rn4mgQ1ftzzht9YHo13GCMcH9Li7gX8t9LBxCU2a1wZFGoCxhLZyis1Cz3.jpg" alt="IMG_20260425_130400.jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/EoAaCqMEgrCTmgSNZn4gPpVcWZoQ5mQUHbb9etx5yrEfQXjvVVPqRFLu53fgmmmSKqd.jpg" alt="IMG_20260425_132205.jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23tSamjGDrfvgY9z4xHP2dknKaJFDdsX26u8Yg82UeiAMcHYVK4QHHzYD2zrpiaFrYtjU.jpg" alt="IMG_20260425_132326.jpg" /></p> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/EoGxxWLNpeUJTePVTM9Pjn4PiHjGyk1di7NDKJBuFrfe5wwbAbNHAhAhCKHRomcU7cA.jpg" alt="IMG_20260425_132720.jpg" /></p> <p>Perhaps this is a somewhat abstract idea. Perhaps it’s a photographic series born from a very specific moment in my life, but the truth is that all our minds are dynamic, and from an artistic standpoint, I believe that all ideas should be brought to life; some will be good, others perhaps not so much, but generally speaking, it’s always better to try, so that in this way there will be no room in our hearts for regret or doubt.</p> <blockquote> <p>Quizás esta es una idea un poco abstracta. Tal vez es una serie fotográfica salida de un momento muy particular de mi existencia, pero lo cierto es que todas nuestras mentes son dinámicas y, desde el punto de vista artístico, creo que todas las ideas deben ser plasmadas; algunas serán buenas, otras quizás no tanto, pero en términos generales siempre será mejor intentar, para que de esta manera en nuestro corazón no haya lugar para el arrepentimiento y la duda.</p> </blockquote> <p><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iscrak/23tmL4yaXWxBXCRUYPbx6hwMdF6rGamfTJ8rkwBeKm1cPu1cu1HNPmQ8G7DKiDeYzWVVv.jpg" alt="IMG_20260425_132756.jpg" /></p> </div><p><a href="https://hive.blog/hive-142159/@iscrak/monomad-looking-down-at-the">Read the full post</a></p>iscrakhive-142159
