Travel photographer Esteban Toro<\/a> in the interview for our series during the second week of the Hahnem\u00fchle Photography Month.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Could you introduce yourself in 3-4 sentences? <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]”I\u2019m Esteban Toro, I\u2019m a travel photographer, Sony Ambassador, Worldwide represented by YellowKorner. I document the world through my camera. From my backyard to remote countries and cultures.”[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How and When did you figure out you wanted to become a photographer?<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]”I was a bass guitarist. The instrument kept me home all the day. When I discovered photography, around 14 years ago, it took me outside to discover the world to create beautiful photographs. Then, a camera has been an excuse to document the world as I see it.”<\/p>\n

“When I started travelling, I wanted to have beautiful portraits in every location and beautiful landscapes too. Travelling became a serious thing that I\u2019d do first 2-3 months per year and then it turned out to be 9-11 months per year.”[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Why do you print your images?<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]”It\u2019s mandatory to me to see my final photographs printed. It\u2019s the only way that my work makes sense and comes to life.”<\/p>\n

“It gives all the effort that I put into planning a photograph a meaning. Then, I can feel the texture, the color, remember the moment and finally, it becomes a memory. A living proof that I existed there and that moment happened in front of my lens.”[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
