MAX BALDERAS FRIAS
“IN MY MIND, LINES EXTEND PURPOSEFULLY AND SENSUALLY”
When I photograph architecture I am capturing my ideals. The design elements we find beautiful reflect the qualities of the type of person we look for or the one we strive to be. When I’m standing before a building or in a space, I look for light, through its different variations, and how the architect has allowed it to embrace the people in it.
These images are architectural representations of the beauty I seek in the world, in others, and in myself. Poise and grace. Elegance and sleekness. All with a sensual imagination.
