ABOUT ME

My name is Edwin Amado. I an Architect and Photographer from Colombia. I have been living in Atlanta for some months while I am learning my second language. I like to define myself as an audiovisual researcher because I believe through photography I can make personal exploration about things around me. I like to think about the world with pictures. Also, pictures can transmit emotions and feelings and connect us without using our language. Behind the pictures, there will always be a story that can be told. 

Among my more important works there are two short multimedia documentaries on line. The first is called Torres del silencio (https://vimeo.com/214424144?ref=em-share ) about one of the big social problems in Colombia, which is the arms conflict and farmers have moved from the countryside to city to save their lives. This work was awarded with a POY LATAM 2017 (photographer of the year Iberoamérica) The second, is a project about river turtle biology research in the eastern flats Colombia ( https://youtu.be/0MECVOs8zfs ). Inaddition, this work was made into a book called El Galapago Sabanero. 

ABOUT THIS SITE:

This place is an experiment where pictures and texts are connected and both tell stories about my experience here, so during this time I have stored a lot of photos, videos, sounds and drawings, and the best way of building a story is creating a blog as if it were some kind of personal diary of a traveler.
