Photos die, unless we talk about them. Hello. My name is Mia Loomba. I might say that everything is about photography. Or photography is about everything. We, as human beings, have infinite possibilities. We can change our perception of the world and of ourselves by creating something new with our hands. I hope you can now look at yourself differently, from a new perspective, and look at your reflection in others. I might also say that my work is really more about the talk that surrounds photography. Or the sounds that surround photography. So I am interested in the talk that surrounds the photograph more than the actual photograph itself. Or something like that. Half journalistic / half qualitative . I use the 35mm film Canon, and cell phone for recording. I used to use a Sharp minidisc (R.I.P).
