Erzähl uns kurz, wer du bist und was du machst.
My name is Lidia Edith Monge Arias I’m from Mexico City , I’m photographer freelance since 2008
Wie lange fotografierst du schon und was hat dich dazu gebracht, damit anzufangen?
I felt the desire to see the world through lenses and I was fascinated by parkour, following a chance meeting with a group of guys from Bergamo and Milan. In 2008 I started photographing their athletic performances
Hast du dein erstes Foto noch? Was bedeutet es dir heute?
Yes Still I have , this photo is a lot to me is the most great memories of my time and training with these fantastic athletes from Italy..
Was fotografierst du am liebsten – Menschen, Architektur oder ganz andere Motive?
People and Archeological sites , the reason is people are beautiful in any way if you really can see this . Archeology is because I studied for one year this fantastic and fascinating world. last but not least nature (sky, animals etc) .
Schwarz-Weiß oder Farbe – was ist dein Ding und warum?
Color , black and white is fascinating but color is most difficult to make special if you have the wrong light, in live performance it is difficult because you need to have the right moment and the right light.
Wie stehst du zu Instagram? Ist es für dich mehr Inspirationsquelle oder Business-Tool?
Business Tool, there is too much photoshop and filters only photojournalist is save
Hast du Vorbilder in der Fotografie, die dich besonders geprägt haben?
Robert Capa and all the photojournalists around the world who risk their lives to show the world the horror of conflicts around the world, from the past and in our time. (I study photojournalist)

Speicherst du deine Bilder noch im RAW-Format oder reicht dir JPEG im digitalen Zeitalter?

Könntest du dir vorstellen, deine Arbeiten in einer Galerie nur noch auf Screens und nicht mehr als Prints zu zeigen?
I mean yes this is something I need to do it soon or later who knows when.
Fotografierst du noch analog? Wenn ja, warum reizt dich das in Zeiten der Digitalfotografie immer noch?
