Seba Kurtis

Kurtis is from Argentina and a political activist. During the political crisis in Argentina, he left for europe and lived in Spain illegally, for 5 years. He became seriously interested in immigrants and why they're moving. These are from his series called 700 Miles, A few Days More and Drowned, where he photographed immigration and the effects of it.


I chose these images because of the simplicity. I love the simple depiction of something and how it always has an even deeper story behind it with so much more meaning. I love the effects on the border of the first one of the man. This lighting in the 2nd and 3rd image are powerful as well and the color makes them even stronger. The composition is also drawing me into the photo in the 2nd one. Centering doesn't always work but here, I love it.
