.official Title: Shadows and Lights
Synopsis:
Lucía arrives in Seattle seeking adventure, but instead finds a city shrouded in fog and emotionally distant, where smiles seem to have disappeared. As she tries to adapt to this new environment, she meets Kasia, a woman who shares her passion for photography. Together, they discover that behind every serious and reserved face, there is a story waiting to be told.
Embarking on a journey to capture and tell these stories through their cameras, they realize that from the most reserved millionaire to the most downtrodden homeless person, everyone breaks into a smile when they feel the presence of the camera and its spark of light. As they continue their work, the atmosphere of the city begins to change.
—————————————————————————————- This story is partly about my life and how I adjusted to a new city as a Mexican, even without speaking the language, and how I found hope in photography.
I met a friend from Poland, and we would go out to take pictures together. I find a kind of light with my friend sharing our common interest.
