Walter
Bosque was born on July 30th, 1960, in General Roca, Argentina. He studied
at the Visual Arts Institute NOVUM and earned his degree in Graphic
Design. Over the years he has won over sixty-seven awards and prizes
for his work and has participated in sixteen exhibitions in official and
private art galleries. He has taught courses on applied photography and
at present he is working freelance in advertising photography and digital
work.
Given his lifelong involvement, he has much to say about his beloved
artistic medium: "Photography is a way of life. The photographer
lives with the passion of the next picture in his mind and dreams with
the moment of taking it when he closes his eyes. That is why I never
cease being a photographer, I simply let my camera rest. My artistic
work intends to reflect what I feel with every image and transmit it
in each of them. This way I try to reach the observer with my interpretation
of the soul of the image, as if a photograph can make someone stop breathing,
it is then when it becomes transcendental, unforgettable. This is why
the artistic composition of my works belongs to a secondary position,
being just the feeling the protagonist the message. In relation to nudes,
I work with amateur models. They pose for me because they love art and
they do it with passion in each photography session, facing drawbacks,
long delays, hours traveling, cold or heat at times or just long walks
some other times. They are the other part of this at of mine, since they
give passion and effort in each photograph. My group of models is each
time more numerous, since there are each time more people that like my
art and would like to sit in front of my camera. The new models, before
a first try, I almost always incorporate them in my works. To make photography
a way of life is a hard decision that must be taken at heart, I refer
to the ultimate truth on photography uttered by the master Henry Cartier-Bresson:
"photography is to let, in the same line of fire the mind, the eye,
and the heart."
In 2007 Walter launched his official website devoted to his nude work,
www.WalterBosque-Art.com where
he showcases his huge archive of art nudes, in addition to his new work.
His specialty has evolved into documenting the natural beauty of South
America's notoriously beautiful women.
