As a pastime, photographynbsp;has connected Camilonbsp;Guevara on a spiritual levelnbsp;with everything that he findsnbsp;interesting and worth experiencing.nbsp;It involves a conscious act of creativitynbsp;and learning that, for him, has nothing tonbsp;do with the pretentious, often hackneyednbsp;way that artists recreate everyday life.nbsp;Far from useless complacence, there isnbsp;always space for experimentation andnbsp;the search for a previously unnoticednbsp;composition or angle.
Despite any similarities with a given work,nbsp;his authenticity comes to the surface,nbsp;emerging from a specific interest.nbsp;A lawyer by profession, he had to studynbsp;technical photography, a requirement for criminal investigation, but he also learnednbsp;his way around the laboratory, workingnbsp;with chemicals and paper prints. Thatnbsp;might have been what sparked his interestnbsp;in the art of photography.
About 10 years ago, he decided to carrynbsp;out a project, and he began selectingnbsp;themes and analyzing them, some morenbsp;than others.
Immersed in a world of images, todaynbsp;Guevara reflects on the tendency tonbsp;exaggerate the relationship betweennbsp;images and contemporary life, and assertsnbsp;that those who devote themselves tonbsp;photography are influenced by what theynbsp;are looking at, but also by how they arenbsp;able to reinvent their surrounding worldnbsp;through their imagination.
He admits that he prefers analogicalnbsp;photography, because it comes from thenbsp;frontier of change, and he perceives it asnbsp;more enduring. 
However, he recognizesnbsp;the blessings of digital photography andnbsp;the development that it has undergonenbsp;over time. Without question, the daynbsp;will come when film will be like a museumnbsp;piece, just another rung in the evolutionarynbsp;process of art," he said.
With its markedly social character,nbsp;Guevararsquo;s work is not exactly a chroniclenbsp;of life, although it borders the genre. Thenbsp;camera is a tool and not an appendage ofnbsp;the body, as some may view it.nbsp;A photo can be constructed in the mindnbsp;so that you can go out and look for it;nbsp;sometimes it is very difficult, but it cannbsp;almost always be done," he said.
