CHRISTIAN BAES

Born in 1988 in Santa Vitória do Palmar, Brazil.

Resides and works in Porto, Portugal.

Christian Baes, a photographer specializing in authorial series, emerges in contemporary times with work that denotes a sensitive observation of the quotidian. His visual narratives move between impressionism and classic documentary, showing the characteristics of an artist immersed in the aura of the spaces he walks through, capturing them with originality and a cinematic ambiguity, full of silence, action and magnetism. Minimalist in terms of post-production, Christian explores the infinite photographic possibilities to create the aesthetics of his work during the capture in camera.

“For me, photography is not an object. It’s a sensation. It is based on this experience of making photographs that I try to reflect my time, believing that art, in its poetic and critical sphere, transforms and is an important part of creating a better world.”
