My work starts from the idea of the shock between the reality of photography with elements that distort the harmony of daily life, taking us to new situations (sometimes surrealistic). The fine line between the real world and the one beyond our perception. The constant search to generate characters with the purpose of telling histories just by an image that contains within itself the past and future of our hero. Always starting with a drawing, that works as a guide to put in order what I`m doing. A tool that for a long time has been fundamental to my work. I found in photography the best way to bring my drawings to reality. Very few things are random, once the idea is set. Work every day, at least just a little. And try to see photography as a tool not as a medium in itself. You will find more from Manuel Archain at: http://www.manuelarchain.com/photo/
