Aperture Solutions: North Las Vegas, NV, United States; My name is Joaquin Lares and photography is something that instills great passion in me. I describe myself as essentially a travel photographer with a strong interest in portraiture. I am currently based in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. My interest in this addicting medium began in my early teens when I was able to buy my first Canon SLR camera and I have had a love affair with photography ever since. Photography is my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass. I use photography as a means of self-expression – I make pictures for myself, to identify with the hidden qualities of my character, to better understand my reality, and to express my interpretation of the world around me. A clearer understanding of myself and of my world allows me to explore fragments of life as an abstract form, and also to interact with people I would otherwise not be able to engage with. My goal is to use my camera like Alice’s rabbit hole, to open an unexplored world, a place of curious self-expression, but also a world of new relationships, new chances, new beginnings, and most importantly new stories.
