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.”
