Congratulations to Javier Sotomayor, November 2023 PFRE Photographer of the Month! The theme this month was "Open."

Open living room with matching wooden furnishings and white painted walls
  1. Javier Sotomayor - Entry #879
  2. Dave Koch - Entry #877
  3. Peter Wingfield - Entry #874

Here's what Javier has to say:

Hello First of all I wanted to thank you for being chosen, thank you from the bottom of my heart and congratulate you for your website and services!

The image is taken in a village in southern Spain, Andalusia, specifically in the province of Cadiz.

The image captures the essence of a contemporary lifestyle, with a living room that reflects the taste for design and simplicity. Decorative elements, such as sculptures and paintings, add personality and contrast to the environment.

The image has a balanced composition, with a harmonious distribution of the elements in the space. The rule of thirds is applied by dividing the image into three parts horizontally and vertically, and placing the points of interest at the intersections of the lines.

The image has a neutral color, with cold and warm tones that complement each other. The contrast between white, gray and black creates a sense of depth and dynamism.

The equipment used was a Canon RP with EF 17/40 mm lens.

Photograph taken without flash with a focal length of 17 mm Manual exposure nº f 9 and 1/8 mounted on a Manfrotto tripod.

I live in Jerez de La Frontera, Cadiz - Andalusia, Spain, I am a photographer for over 31 years and currently working for companies such as Airbnb, and that nature, making images with drone and virtual tours.

Thanks again and if you need more information do not hesitate to contact me, thank you very much!

Javier Sotomayor
