Introducir, César Ochoa

THERE ARE PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO CHOOSE TO BECOME ONE BECAUSE IT IS WHAT THEY ALWAYS WANTED TO DO. THERE ARE ALSO PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE PICKING UP A CAMERA. AND THAN THERE ARE THOSE WHO ACTUALLY STARTED OUT AS SOMETHING ELSE BUT EVENTUALLY ENDED UP DOING PHOTOGRAPHY, OFTEN DRIVEN BY AN INSPIRATION THAT DIRECTLY RELATES TO THEIR WORK. LIKE CÉSAR OCHOA.
César Ochoa was born 30 years ago in Mexico, but lives currently in Montréal, Canada. He arrived here in 2006 has been lucky enough to be able to combine his passion with his career. César’s passion and obsession in life is men. His profession is graphic designer. Not two things that, at first glance, necessary have anything to do with each other. But César has found himself a nice job working as graphic designer for a gay magazine.

César Ochoa is the typical example of how one thing can lead to another. His work obviously brought him in contact with many beautiful photographs of men, and many photographs of beautiful men. Which inspired him to give photography a try by himself. Now this of course seems easier said then done. Having no education and experience in the field of photography, and starting with the subject of male physiques, it isn’t that easy to find willing subjects. But César succeeded doing so and now, after having several publications of his work, the tide has turned and models are reaching out to him to be shot.

César is active as photographer since 2002. He started working directly with a model agency in Mexico, practicing his passion in portraiture. Since then he has enjoyed publications in many magazines, such as Unomasuno, Dimension AA, Editorial Saifreg, Soy and the Canadian 2B. Recently he also shot a fitness calendar featuring Daniel Sloniegura, one of Canada’s top fitness models. César's motto is to live for photography, not by photography. –B-
