Internationally recognized as a lifestyle and fashion photographer, Cortés has always maintained a firm commitment to fine art photography. Influenced by the American New Topographics in the tradition of Stephen Shore, William Eggleston, and Fox Talbot’s astute observation of the camera’s special aptitude for recording “the injuries of time”, he has developed a highly personal analysis of the camera as an instrument for recording “the layering of time and sense of place”. This is clearly illustrated in the photographs exhibited here, which resonate with a sense of melacholic loss.
