Intimacy is a groups of photos that Pablo has been doing for time. The expression about identity it’s categorized from the traditional disciplines. Auto-portrait and models portraits express the dialogue between model and artists and how he can be represented from her. Otherwise, they are expressing how the representation differs from reality, putting the art between the real and fiction. How can you identify yourself when reality has turned into fiction? Painters and sculptors often acknowledge the importance of trust in the relationship between artist and model, but many photographers go a step farther, believing it to be essence of a successful picture. The empathy between photographer and the subject offsets a potentially exploitative dynamic: it is what allows a sexually charged image to transcend the pretentiousness of erotica and the egotism of pornography.
