Defy and Justify – Photo Exhibition of Paolo Ruiz 6-4-11

Thursday 05.26.11 04:41 PM

The show is the first solo exhibition of the photographer slash portraitist Paolo Ruiz. In this display, he showcases portraits of people whom he believes best represent the significant facets of his being – music, visual art, and the combination of both. If there is something that Paolo Ruiz has learned in the course of his career as …a photographer, it is to really love your subjects, and to photograph the subjects that you really love the most. As a result, he gave himself the liberty to try out different techniques and styles to achieve his goal for the exhibition, and along the process, tried to capture the whole experience of actually capturing the subjects in his photographs. All things considered, every frame in this exhibition corresponds to an imperative aspect of who he is now. And he would never have it any other way.
