Photographic Manifest by Luiz Guilherme Todeschi
This is my personal Manifesto about Photography. It serves to guide my conduct and values what I deem fit to transit the imaginary universe. Any phrase or similar thought said here by another author can be considered mere coincidence as it guides my personal experience and way of seeing the world with a camera in hand.
1. A photographic image has a very strong symbolic charge. It can be used with great caution and respect for photographers. Ethics above all in the exercise of the craft is recommended.
2. It is noticed that many photographers are currently following trends and are mirrored in the work of other colleagues already done. Particularly in the case of commercial and copyright essays. This undermines creativity and innovation in photography. If copying can be avoided, we believe it is important to act accordingly.
3. A photographer with a passion for imagery knows how difficult it is to make his photography differently without mirroring past references and without occasionally reproducing images that have already been made. Yes, we suddenly believe we did something innovative in our photography, and on the other side of the world a very similar image or a production was recorded. That happens. No problem, when we have no notion of it.
4. Copyrighted works that are copied or reproduced by other colleagues end up losing the true value of exclusivity. Let us not fail to honor the beautiful work already done. But that does not make us copiers of scenes and situations recorded by other photographers. A reproduction of a celebrated image in the history of photography when mounted and staged is still a plagiarism.
5. In photography the search for the emotions and true feelings expressed by the models portrayed can become a strong ally and give more expressive force to the power of the image. Let us abort this when we have opportunity in our records.
6. In considering the history of humanity through photography and the records of sadness and situations of conflict, misery and social deprivation, we could strive to use the photos with prudence so that we do not feed negativity through images. Even knowing the importance of denunciation, war and humanitarian photography, we honor the work in this direction that has provided a differentiated way of observing the facts lived by human beings or the need for changes in attitudes and awareness.
7. We would like to believe that one day we will have only positive images being recorded in humanity. We look for this in our photograph. We may not live this life in general. But we can strive through the communication power of our photography to show everyone that a new world is possible. In this sense we intend to walk.
8. According to statistics per year about 125 billion images are produced and published on social networks. The world has become extremely imaginative with the advent of new technologies. Before we post an image on social media we should really ask ourselves if it is necessary and will have a message of value to communicate. Even the true value of an image is questionable because what has value for the photographer will not necessarily be viewed with significance by the viewer of the image.
9. Honor the copyrights to the fullest. That way we will be living up to the value and rights of the photographers and portraits. In times of copy and paste citing the source of the used and reproduced image or reference is paramount. A matter of respect for legislation and for human beings who have somehow expressed themselves through photography.
10. We believe that true weight photography is one that expresses the reality of the events witnessed and lived and faithfully portrays any situation recorded by the photographer.
11. The photography is wonderful and enables, in addition to other audio-visual recording features, stories to be told. In this sense the power of visual narratives leaves a legacy to human beings. Let them be used wisely. In my view the good narrative is one that is not lost in time.
12. From the moment we perceive our authorial photography as meaningless do not worry. May we take a break. Breathe new air. Let it flow. Think and feel new possibilities.
13. There are phases in the life of the high and low production artist photographer. Like everything that needs inspiration in life. Our potential for imagery will not always work to our advantage. There are days that the light will not help. The motivation will not exist. The scene will not appear. Even so, let's not be discouraged.
14. The ideal is to let photography guide us and be called to do it. This will not always be possible. We can not always claim trance and inspiration for creation. But let this never make it impossible for us to put ourselves at the disposal of the recording of images.
15. The color of your photograph, the image treatment, the framing, the expressive potential and the strength of the image may not please everyone. Let's not worry when that happens. Above all, photography should serve for the photographer to self-know and look at the world around him in a different way. Carefully. When it comes to the diversity of human thinking and feeling, it is natural that this should happen.
16. The magic of photography is precisely in believing that what we are recording is something that has presented itself only to us. When we become instruments of photography and art we feel with our heart and pre-conceived cultural and social values. In any case all photographic intent is valid. Every photographic study and any personal search of the photographer in his contribution to the imaginary universe is important and should be considered. Everything should be considered as part of the individual learning process.
17. Avoid repentance and error in photography as much as possible. As a photographer, the most incredible scene of your life may fail to be recorded because you left your camera at home.
18. All the sentences and everything that was constructed in the photograph can be questioned and interpreted of different forms. Let us never fail to honor and know the true masters of photography. All those that are part of the history of photography. All those who express love for the art of photography. And especially all those who have the ability to perceive the decisive moments that make the photographic act really very noble. This is critical.
19. What would life be without photography? Those who photograph with passion and love would not know how to respond. Would you?
20. Any attempt at digital assembly, performance manipulation, use of nontraditional artifices, or imagery that escapes the standard of normality and contemporary trends of expression can also and must be considered as human expression and art. And in the same way it must be honored and valued.

INTERVIEW: LEAVE THE BOX OF HELEN POMPOSELLI WITH PHOTOGRAPHER LUIZ GUILHERME TODESCHI
"Passionate about the art of relating to human beings, for Luiz, self-knowledge is a guiding thread for his social work, for it is said that a person has no fear. "I am a true seeker of self-knowledge, of constant learning, of the expansion of consciousness and of service to others. One who is not only mirrored in the teachings of the Masters and seeks to master the development of unconditional love. We can do so much better. My desire really is to see the people of our country and our Planet, as well as Mother Nature, being treated with respect. "
