Ramirez paints his sunsets into a gorgeous picture: an idyllic scene splashed in gaudy multicoloured hues from a fading fireball, hotly pouring its intense molten light through the landscape and sky, illuminating every crack of shadow. Living now in West Palm Beach in Florida, the 24-year-old photographer was originally based in Gdańsk, Poland. Ramirez always wanted to travel and live in different countries, experiencing exotic cultures, so after receiving his B.A., he decided to move to the United States as an au pair--a live-in nanny. Today, he considers it to be the best decision he has ever made, as it was also a time when he started taking his photography to the next level, soon trading his Canon 70D for a full-frame Canon 6D. After receiving his well-deserved moniker as a sage of sunsets, Ramirez decided it was time to enrich his photographic variety, slowly progressing into urban scenes and natural landscapes. From there, Ramirez took his time creating his post-production style, knowing that it was all a part of establishing his niche. “Everything I know I have learned myself by reading and watching photography channels. I used to read articles about specific techniques and then would try them out right away. I think practice is the key to everything,” asserts Ramirez, “I really want to take my work further into the minds of my audience, show them what I feel, or make them feel a certain way. A photograph isn’t a photograph unless it gives something back in return.” 84 inspadesmag.com
