"America Untitled", for the first time in A Coruña
Starting tomorrow and through February 6th, America Untitled will be in display at Monty Ambigú. This is the third exhibition of this work, the first time in A Coruña.
It is a very special city for me since I lived there for over 12 years. I've been looking forward to this exhibition. If you are nearby and can attend, the inauguration will be tomorrow, January 3rd, at 8:30pm.
How to prepare a photography exhibition
You've spent weeks, months, or even years creating a body of work you are proud of. Now, you'd love to show it in the real world and not just online, but you have no idea how or where to start.
Hopefully this post will help you.
I just had the first exhibition of America Untitled a couple of weeks ago, and I thought I'd share how I got my work hung on walls, people to come see it, and what I've learned for the next one.

America Untitled (2017-2018) was born from my love for the landscapes of the American West. An admiration that pushed me to the top of volcanos and remote deserts, to hike hundreds of miles, to walk on frozen lakes, and beyond my comfort zone in the middle of snowtorms.
No matter how difficult or challenging a situation was, I always had a camera with me. I took amazing photos and videos; I made countless mistakes and came back with terrible imagery; I ruined cameras due to sand, rain and ice.
All of this was part of a learning process: over time, I developed my own vision, stopped taking photographs and started making images.
It was the beginning of America Untitled. Months of traveling across 25 states and a lot of hard work were necessary to make a collection of 46 images, a strict selection from more than 250 rolls of medium format film.
