Juan Cevallos

 

I am a photographer from Ecuador who currently resides in Prague, Czech Republic. After a decade of experience working for both national and international photographic agencies in Quito, I decided to step back from the world of press photography. My goal was to understand photography from a different perspective, which led me to begin my studies at the Prague School of Art (FAMU).
During my time at FAMU, I focused on creating works incorporating an experimental visual language, seeking to play with and reinterpret the autonomy of modern photographic devices. I firmly believe in the importance of subverting the authority of the camera and automated processes in image creation. This involves a reinterpretation of the role of photographers in the era of mass photographic production and a constant search for freedom.


To achieve this, I have used modified cameras, photographic materials, and printing processes alternative to traditional methods. My goal has been to create unique and irreproducible works, constantly exploring the image and the photographic object.


This exploration has allowed me to hold exhibitions both in the Czech Republic and abroad. These experiences have expanded my visual language and reinforced my previous knowledge, providing me with the flexibility to work in various fields of photography.
