Fotosensorista

Fotosensorista is a term that refers to an individual who uses photography as their primary medium of artistic or journalistic expression. This encompasses a wide range of photographic practices, from fine art photography and documentary work to commercial and event photography. The core of a fotosensorista's practice lies in their ability to observe, interpret, and capture moments or subjects through the lens of a camera. This involves technical proficiency in camera operation, an understanding of lighting, composition, and post-processing techniques. Beyond technical skill, a fotosensorista often possesses a strong visual sensibility and a unique perspective that they aim to convey through their images. Whether documenting social issues, creating abstract compositions, or capturing fleeting expressions, the fotosensorista seeks to communicate ideas, emotions, or information through the still image. The term is not strictly defined and can be used broadly to describe anyone dedicated to photography as a profession or a significant creative pursuit.
