POVFOTO
My name is Kike Alvarez and I am the founder and part of the photographic team based in Bonn. We work and connect photographers with various clients to provide photo & video productions, editorial assistance, image licensing, and customer support.
We like providing images from the camera's direct, first-person perspective, showing the scene as the photographer or a subject is seeing it. This creates a more immersive and subjective experience for the viewer, differing from traditional, objective camera angles by placing the audience directly into the photographer's viewpoint.
Conscious of its responsibility to preserve the authenticity of the documentary image, we keep the process of image creation as transparent as possible.
WHY POV:
Immersive Experience: POV photography draws the viewer into the moment, offering a more personal and engaging perspective than a standard shot.
Unique Composition: By changing the camera's position, we can create unique compositions, make certain elements appear larger, and alter the viewer's perception of the scene.
Subjective Storytelling: It's a powerful way to convey emotion, show the context of a personal experience, or reveal a particular viewpoint or belief about the world.
Differentiation: POV shots stand out from typical photos because of their distinct angle and the sense of direct observation they offer.
