This week, Bellapod is dedicated to Mariano Matamoros. Known as Nano by his friends, he was one of the best photographers to ever put his eye behind a camera lens. His attention to detail, lighting, creativity and his talent that was so unique made his photos easy to publish.
Although he photographed anything from concerts, sporting events, weddings, portraits, to landscape and food, he was best known for his images of models. Throughout his career, he learned how to perfect his techniques and create his own style. This allowed him to be one of the best and most famous photographers of models and his collections are viewed by people all over the world every day.
He has been credited with helping many women start and advance their modeling and acting careers. He has also tutored and inspired other photographers with their styles and skills. His pictures are always floating all over the Internet, newspapers, magazines and television. Anytime a group of foreign photographers was coming to Costa Rica, they always wanted to meet him and have him work on their projects. Anytime he travelled to other countries, there were models waiting for him to shoot them.
He worked very hard and really enjoyed what he did. Not because he was surrounded with beautiful women, but because photography was his life. He once said that even if he didn't make any money, he would still be taking pictures as long as he was able to eat.
Other than his passion for photography, he enjoyed metal music, working out in the gym, spending time with his friends and family, but most importantly his life. There was never a moment when he didn't have a smile on his face or when he wasn't using all of his energy to liven up every setting. On Saturday, September 4, 2010, Nano moved his studio to heaven and is busy shooting angels every day while blasting Iron Maiden from his stereo.
Bella will miss you.
