Photographer's Profile

Hernan Zagordo

Argentina

Born in 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I always had an attraction to visual arts, drawing and computer animation were activities I enjoyed very much during my youth. I studied Graphic Design but just for one year, as I decided to pursue my other passions, technology and logical thinking, so I switched to Computer Systems. With over 30 years of experience as systems consultant, I feel quite accomplished with my professional career. But my other passion, visual arts, was always reminding me that something was missing. In year 2007 I was living in Europe, and felt the need to learn how to take better photos, as everything called my eye. I bought my first DSLR in 2008 and I have not put the camera down ever since. I am mostly self-taught, combined with several courses with great teachers in almost all fields of photography. After years of learning and experimenting, my style was starting to emerge. Digital photography for me is a perfect mixture of arts and science, so I fell very easily in love with it. I shoot black and white, and mostly long exposures. I love simplicity and minimalism, and these techniques help me streamline my message and produce as clean as possible images.
