Keko Ponte // Photography
Early Works
This are fine art projects and some street photography prior to 2015. I used to shoot a lot of street photo while traveling back in the day, but I've lost interest in its "hunting" mechanisms.
Azca
2012 - 2014
An exploration to collect the atmosphere of this place as an instrument to frame nature in particular spaces and our relationship with those spaces: how they evolve with (or without) our care, where do we locate them and why.
Nature itself doesn't have any presence in the first photographs, but begins to conquer its place both in the project and in the spaces that are being photographed.
Haunted and Hallowed
2014
“Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship."
Stockholm
2015
I can understand why Stockholm is branded as "the most superficial city in the world" by many people, even being my experience with stockholmares just the oposite.
They live the summer with hunger, and they approach the end of it with distress.
The Market
2015
Marrakesh has the largest traditional Berber market in Morocco and the image of the city is closely associated with its souqs.
Ciclovía
2013
These images were taken during a 12 miles walk courtesy of the Ciclovia in Bogotá, a weekly event in which over 70 miles of city streets are closed to traffic and where residents come out to walk, bike, run, skate, recreate, picnic, and talk with family, neighbors & strangers.
Semana Santa
2012
Granada Bearers in the Easter of 2012
The streets of the Albaicín are narrow and twisted filled with their typical cobblestones. These streets give a special setting to the procession of the Virgen de la Aurora and the Concepción.
