The photoreporter’s architectural eye

Daniel Rosales Sánchez was born in 1989 and began his career as a photoreporter in 2011 in San José, Costa Rica, working on his own projects.
Rosales attempts to achieve the utmost expressive power in every photograph. His inspiration is Man Ray’s famous phrase: “I photograph things I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence”.  His photographs are reporters’ snapshots, conveying to the onlooker the atmosphere breathed in a specific place, or the essence of a momentary emotion, providing additional information and complementing visual communication. Daniel Rosales now lives in San Luis Capital, Argentina, and continues taking pictures with both the camera and the smartphone.
The selection of photographs presented here alternates purely architectural portraits with images that speak of context, including details such as a bare bulb or a faded writing in a shop window. His eye behind the lens is a reporter’s eye, capable of seeing architecture as an event, telling its story and commenting on it visually.
His work could also be described in Paolo Schianchi’s words from his book “L'immagine è un oggetto” (“The image is an object”): “Images thus have the same power as words, though few have mastered their power and their linguistic codes so far”.
