AN INTERVIEW WITH
CONDE
Creative. Vision. Legacy.
INTRODUCTION
I’m a nuyorican from Brooklyn NY. My parents came to New York around 1948 from Ponce and St. Isabel , Puerto Rico. My last name “ Conde “is legendary in Puerto Rico.. We’re known for being great athletes. So the child, I had to continue the tradition here in New York.
As a young man, I develop a eye for beauty and capturing it in any way possible whether it was drawing , to painting or using my dad‘s 110 camera to take pictures of anything that I felt like it was memorable and needed to be captured on film.
I am a self taught Photographer with the passion of being legendary one day for my images as a photographer. Because when a man is no longer here, all we can do is leave behind our legacy.
WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO SAY WHEN THEY SEE MY WORK
I would want them to see how creative , artistic and how I bring the image to life.
MY EDITING
Photoshop is my go to software . I try to keep my images as natural as possible. I just remove the imperfections and keep it clean.
STYLE & IDENTITY
My style is capturing the image that makes the subject stand out, I use the term “Pop”.
How I construct my shot is by putting all the pieces together for example, the composition, the garment, the models makeup and more importantly the lighting is really important to me and all those I just mentioned are the key components to making my pictures pop.
For my style of photography…
REAL PEOPLE. REAL STORIES. TIMELESS IMAGES
MY PROCESS
Gathering all the information for the photoshoot
For example creating a vision board, scouting the location, communicating with the model or designer about the outfits and accessories, going down my gear check off list. I always arrive to the location early to setup , I hate rushing and I hate being late.
MY GEAR
Base on the location and the vision of how I foresee the images will determine the lens I would bring on location. But my Canon 24-70 mm & Canon 70-200mm lens is always in my camera bag.
For me, photography isn't just a career... it's my way of life.
