It's Prometheus fault
28 Jan, 2022
Firefighters are known for their bravery in their actions, but they are not always saving people or extinguishing fires, also other unknown functions are daily carried out by them. In this project I pretend to show everybody how actually the firefighters lifestyle is, by getting out of the established clichés and from a leisurely, comical and theatrical point of view but always with reality and meaning. Each photography in this project talks about day-to-day aspects of the firefighters life, nothing is out of intention even though it may seem so.
