Miguel Constantino is a musician, sound engineer, and photographer. Using exclusively analogue cameras, he processes all his films by himself and print everything in his darkroom, using an enlarger.
Working with expired silver halide color papers, he developed an experimental process that gives him a greater control on the tones and contrast, but also explores new graphic qualities.
Blending various influences as the japanese photography of the Provoke movement, the abstract expressionism, and the art of filmmakers like Robert Bresson, Harmony Korine, or Gus Van Sant, the work of Miguel Constantino is singular and uncompromising, raw and pictural, honest and poetic, and infused with emotions.
In a world grotesquely oversaturated with images, he believes in artistic expressions that are not to consume, but to keep.
