Buscando La Luz (Search for Light) by Robertino R. Ragazza at Keeble & Shucat Photography Gallery, Palo Alto, CA

Robertino R. Ragazza's Solo Exhibition of 47 Selenium-toned, masterly hand-printed traditional Silver Gelatin prints are a revelation. His images are haunting, beautiful, full of life, at times, melancholy and nostalgic. His use of light either reveals or covers the details unknown.

Photographer and Ceramic Artist Robertino Ragazza, was born in the Philippines and raised in San Jose. Never without his camera, Ragazza engages himself in knowing his subjects, making them aware he is genuinely interested in their stories. An observer who loves to capture the moment, his influences are countless and spontaneous. Observations through life experiences and travel affect Ragazza's creativity finding he is at his best with street portrait work. "Light becomes my paintbrush and printing provides the meditative process that brings life to my subjects, giving me patience and a sense of peace," says the Buddhist convert.
