Samsung Galaxy Camera. Week 2. Mode: Macro

The second week of the campaign "Life´s a photo, take it", by Samsung, has just ended up. We had to shoot this week pictures with the Macro mode of the new Samsung Galaxy Camera. To represent Madrid by macro shot photographs was quite a challenge for me.

Last Saturday I stepped out in the morning and wandered around my place shooting pictures of the pavement, taking advantage that it is autumn time in Madrid. During the afternoon, I went to Plaza Mayor to shoot pictures of the iny mud figures that we use for our "belenes" (a representation of Jesus´s birth at a tiny scale, only done in Spain), and then I went to San Miguel Market, where I took some close pictures of the fruits there sold.

Here are the pictures uploaded to IG and the ones sent to Samsung. Madrid needs everyone´s help, in order to win the contest among cities. To help us, please share Madrid´s pictures by visiting to site created by Samsung in Tumblr.

Interviewed by Agencia EFE about my exhibition.

Alba García, @albuncias on IG, is a journalist from Agencia EFE, who got in touch with me last summer to make a interview about mobile photography. I then told her that I was going to have a forthcmoing exhibition in November, and that I would like to invite her to visit it. A few days before the opening, I emailed her to do so, and she proposed to me to meet one day at La Piola, watch it together, while she interviewed me about the exhibition.

We meet last Wendsday. She came along with a camera and a microphone, which scared me very much, because I didn´t expect it at all. We chatted very friendly while she recorded me. You can see the interview and the video in the following online media. Thank you so much, Alba!

Samsung Galaxy Camera. Week 1. Mode: Landscape

Samsung´s campaign "Life´s a photo, Take it" has already started. The 32 photographers invited by Samsung have started last Friday November 16th to shoot pictures with the new Samsung Galaxy Camera. We all recieved a briefing in which we were told that during this week, we had to use the mode: Landscape and shoot photos with it.

At the end of the week, we all have to send to Samsung our four favorite pictures, or the most liked. With them, they are going to build a hub on Tumblr, and people will be able to vote for them. The city most voted will be the winner.
