RAQUEL 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
Fotografar-me foi com certeza muito diferente do que eu estava a espera. Eu tinha em mente fotografar pinos e outras posições de ginástica, mas não é tão fácil quando se tem que segurar a camera. Era difícil fotografar exactamente o que eu queria, mas por outro lado, consegui tirar imagens surpreendentes e agradáveis. Diverti-me imenso nua no cemitério, foi optimo sentir uma aragem fresca neste dia quente de verao, entre lápide. / Shooting myself was very different from what I was expecting. I had in mind picturing weird handstands and other gymnastics positions, but it's not so easy when having to hold a camera. It was hard to picture exactly what I wanted, but on the other hand I came up with some surprising and nice pictures, so I think. I had a lot of fun while naked in the cemetery, it was very comfortable to get naked in a hot day, feeling a soft breeze, among the tombstones.
