Jose M Vazquez Shefeld

After arriving in the UK for his postgraduate studies, Jose bought a digital camera and began experimenting with it to document his travels. He loves nature, travel and landscape photography. I nd peace and adventure at the same time when I embark on photo activities related to these subjects, he says. I like them because nothing is posed or acted, its just the moment in time as it happens and then its gone for ever. In the future, Jose would like to photograph people and their activities, as he feels it is an element lacking in his portfolio. Id love to document peoples lives and their jobs, to get a better understanding of what it is that drives people to live, he says.
