WONDERFUL PERIOD
About me
My name is Miguel Angel G. Roig, an enthusiast of classical photography, passionate amateur, as far as memory goes, to art in its various forms, and in particular to film, animation, photography and painting in what relates to image.
Since I was young I have felt an intimate wonder and deep admiration for the taste and aesthetics of art, fashions, etc. that flourished in the first half of the 20th century. For years I have delved into this period, discovering more and more as I investigated, thus surpassing the barrier of aesthetics and art, thus revealing a single whole, in which you can not understand a part without the whole.
A few years ago, tired of seeing the vulgarity and sterility of art and the current world, and in particular photography (including that of the so-called "masters" today), seeing it turned into a simple and disappointing vehicle for the marketing of products, ideologies and egos, loaded with technique but dead and lifeless, I decided to do my little steps with a camera and try to recover the authenticity, the genuine, in short, the only thing that makes the world truly timeless and speaks to us sincerely and humbly. Photography, being one of my hobbies, represented an ideal option.
Currently I combine my professional activity with photography, mainly portrait. Although the purpose is noble, it is difficult to achieve. It is also possible that I preach in a desert world. Still, I think it's worth trying, within the -very- personal limitations and -few-possibilities, but are not the lost causes -when the truth is in them-the only ones worth fighting for?
