Ximena-Echague-20.jpg

Ximena Echagüe

a professional photographer with an eclectic style, where absurdity, humour and a sense of loneliness are recurrent

 

The photo I like the most is halfway between SP and documentary. I took it in Soho in New York, and it's a Chinese couple sitting on the sidewalk during the pandemic, with graffiti in the background depicting Superman. Interesting contrast between the superhero and the desolated expression of the characters. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

TRAPPED The Book

Odyssey, the Human Side of Migration By Ximena Echagüe and Anabella Salem

I try to edit as little as possible. If I have to cut an image too much, I prefer to throw it away.

I wouldn't be honest with myself. I sometimes use Lightroom to enhance the color palette.

I was born in Buenos Aires and I am based in Brussels, travelling often to New York.

I have always lived in big cities with large floating populations, which naturally led me to empathize with them. We are all migrants in different ways, moving around trying to improve our lot in life. I try to capture this human dynamic in my photography, made of hopes fulfilled or shattered, with its drama and contradictions. The odyssey of human life.

I have been trained by street and documentary photographers from MAGNUM, IN-PUBLIC, LEIKA AKADEMIE and APF, in London, Paris, Brussels and India; and more recently, at the International Center of Photography in New York. Many photographers have influenced my work and, lately, I am inspired by Rohit and Vineet Vohra and have embarked with them in portraying the incredible Kumbh Mela in India.

My work has been exhibited around the world in 20 countries of Europe, America and Asia, including 4 Individual exhibitions and around 60 Group exhibitions. It has been published by The New York Times, Eyeshot, Fotografiska, Leica Fotografie International, L’Oeil de la Photographie, LensCulture, Life Framer, National Geographic, PH Museum, Inspired Eye, Street Photography Foundation, Urban Eye, World Street Photography and many others.

I won the Second Prize at the Brussels Street Photography Festival 2019, and was Finalist at the Miami Street Photography Festival, StreetFoto San Francisco, Italian Street Photo Festival and Brussels Street Photography Festival several times .

I am a Curator, Jury, Producer and Mentor of Women Street Photographers, founded by Gulnara Samoilova based in New York.

I am a Curator for Fotografas LATAM, Latin American women photographers, and member of the Little Box Collective, street photographers from all over the world.

My photography is in the collection of the Museum of the City of New York.

LUZ… CÁMARA… ETERNIDAD…

Los miembros de Progressive Street somos un grupo de fotógrafos diversos de todo el mundo, no somos exclusivamente un grupo de “Fotógrafos de Calle”, somos un grupo de fotógrafos de todos los ámbitos.

Es aburrido y no tiene sentido hablar de diferencias técnicas y enfoques, lo que buscamos es la SINCERIDAD.

El criterio curatorial de esta muestra se basa en el diálogo entre pares de imágenes cuyo leitmotiv puede ser el plano y el contraplano, libremente interpretado. En la vida siempre hay una mirada y una contra-mirada, el contrapunto que equilibra o desestabiliza, algo que a todo acontecimiento le otorga intensidad y lo eterniza. El indagar profundamente en este concepto me ayudó a seleccionar fotos que al juntarlas están creando una HISTORIA y disparan el pensamiento, al mismo tiempo que muestran la originalidad de cada artista.
