Commitments & Lessons – Rocio Vega
I was a black and white analog film lover. The digital world that was just beginning and was still far from my dream of becoming an architect photographer.
At some point in my career, I realised it’s not only about techniques. I have lived strong experiences that have changed my life and helped me grow as a human and photographer. Those experiences have influenced my photography. Our lens speaks about our lives. The path of knowing myself is the path of finding my voice, and my style. Through my experiences, my photography has evolved, and now my photography is the path of my life.
I experience life with great intensity. My emotions are heightened, and as an empathetic individual, I am deeply aware of the feelings of others. I embrace each moment passionately and strive to highlight the unique experiences that life offers to those around me.
My mission is to document the subtle, often overlooked moments, allowing people to revisit and experience those emotions whenever desired. I aim to share my unique perspective as they navigate their own moments.
The NineDots awards take place every 3 months and are each judged by 4 incredible photographers from around the world.
At NineDots we believe in awards as fuel for continual improvement rather than being purely for peer recognition or creating hierarchy, so every round we ask our wonderful judges provide their expert insight into their judging process and offer feedback on the images entered through these regular ‘expert insight’ pieces. This helps everyone improve their craft – those who entered and those who didn’t, by getting advice from photographers at the top of the industry around the world.
