FAUSTINUS DERAET Untitled (llanta ponchada), 2015 Polaroid photograph, 8.5" x 6.5" Mexic-Arte Museum Collection 2015.36.1.8 Faustinus Deraet is an Austin-based photographer who grew up in Mexico City. Deraet received a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Systems from the Universidad Iberoamericana, and after working for seven years at IBM, decided to pursue his passion for photography. Dereat returned to school to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Photography at Escuela Activa de Fotografía. He then opened and ran a successful photo studio, La Vida Privada (The Private Life), where for several years he photographed top Latin American celebrities. He has been honored to work with Andrew Hinman Architecture, Iron Thread Design, Keller Williams, Nside magazine, Nui Organics, Remax, Think Street, Tribeza, and Univision, among others. In reference to the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words", Deraet states: "A picture is also worth a thousand feelings and a thousand memories. Not only because they are my photos, but because they reflect what I felt, and what I saw. What I thought was a simple and ordinary photographic moment became a particular event in my mind, in my soul, in my life... the photographed object or situation spoke to me and made an unconscious connection. It is not until I see the image that my internal dialogue starts to talk and to realize that the taken photograph has a deeper meaning that the image by itself." |
