Richard Pomella landscape and figures

In Richard Pomella’s vision of photography, landscape blends with the figure to cast light on the places we live in. His shots reveal the details and lines of constructions defining space through use of colour, even when he photographs in black and white, for the apparently ordinary way he frames his subjects reveal at first glance an infinite number of meanings engraved in the objects and perspectives he photographs.
A broad, unrestricted approach to the image, in that the photographer wishes to reveal how architecture and landscape, geographic identity and spatiality, may be found everywhere. He is a voyager of the image, an expert eye capable of capturing the details and expressions in the whole that count: their affinities.
Richard Pomella’s photographic reflection involves completion of the image in the post-production stage, not to correct it, but to reveal what the land has to offer through its existence. Through this process his shots freeze the instant in a present that stands outside of history, outside of criticism, belonging to the place and to the person who photographs it.
