In continuation of his Virtual Photo Series, Rick Castro created a session with Oaxcan model – Alejandro Soto. You can find more of Rick’s work on Pineapple here & and here you can find an interview with him.
“My Virtual Photo Series is created on Zoom with screen shots. The quality is substandard, but the mood is perfect! I’ve come to appreciate the low-quality the way many millennial’s obsess on Zines and Zine culture from the 80s. Something I was very much part of. An era pre-social media and devises that enables one to make contact with anyone in the world in one second.
During the 80s, one of the few ways to connect with like-minded people was through self-created, one-of-a-kind zines. Most were handwritten and xeroxed. The quality was zero to none, but the spirit and heart was 100%.
During harsh 2020 with plague worldwide, Zoom is the zine forum of today. I’m using the medium that is available now and reaching out, allowing us to share our stories and sensualities with one another… in a virtual way.” – Rick Castro
