Photography isn’t always about how bad-ass your camera is, or how many flashes you can cram into a scene. It’s inherently about seeing something that no one else sees, and then showing the world your vision. Mercedes Ramirez Guerrero, this week’s featured featured Flickr member, displays this practice very clearly. Her work is mainly photo journalistic in style and approach. By looking through her ‘stream, you can tell she carries her dSLR with her everywhere. Some of life’s smallest and significant moments could not have been recorded if she didn’t.
Mercedes has recently published a book entitled “Country Feelings”, a collection of photographs from her native Dominican Republic. Feelings indeed. Mercedes has a keen eye for individual image capture, but she has also excelled in composing a sequence of images that paint a beautiful picture of a land that hasn’t been seen by many. Its clear that she’s payed special attention to the arrangement color schemes, textures and subjects in the book and the final product is a pleasure to flip through. Check out Mercedes’ Photostream on Flickr and her book Country Feelings.
