fernando román, also known as @iamsurroundedby, is a fine art photographer who, guided by intuition, captures mainly urban landscapes.
his photographs evoke feelings that range from nostalgia to intrigue in dreamy yet ordinary scenes. moreover, the absence of human subjects in almost all of his work adds a sense of isolation and quietness. fernando's imagery is characterised by vivid colours and varied settings that range from the brightness of daylight to the night. He describes his work with his slogan sensations that surround us.
additionally, there is a therapeutic approach that fernando explores through his work. photography is his way of reflecting on his emotions and channelling them through the colours and lights he captures with his camera. besides, it is a way of interacting with his surroundings.
he usually shoots on 35mm film, allowing him to engage in a more mindful practice, apart from everyday digital distractions. to achieve a deeper connection with the viewers, he employs techniques such as light leaks, expired film and long exposures, among others. these applications add different tones to the images, making them more stimulating and captivating.
besides, he has experience in shooting events and sports, and conducting photoshoots for shops/clients.
currently, open for collaborations.
