Crosshairs

I sit and photograph people in this corner for hours at a time, sometimes until the daylight is no longer available. My viewfinder becomes the weapon and the power lines, the crosshairs. I have to admit, I’ve never fired a weapon nor do I wish to. Photographing for this series takes me to a fantasy world. I’m the hunter. The people between my lens and the power lines become my prey. I envision these pictures printed in very large sizes. I want the viewer to walk back in order to see the images. The goal is to avoid intimacy. Instead, indulge in the guilty pleasure of voyeurism.

Photographer

Alejandro Vainstein

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. I moved to Boston, Massachusetts where I completed college and have lived there ever since. I currently reside between Boston and Miami. I work in advertising as a TV Commercial Executive Producer. I’ve produced TV Commercials for clients such as Bank of America, Burger King, Cadillac, Chili’s, Coca-Cola, Dunkin’ Donuts, Hyatt, Jet Blue, Royal Caribbean and many more. My passion is photography, although not a photographer by trade. I love photographing people on the street. I bring my camera with me everywhere. It has become an extension of me. Clicking the shutter brings me in my element and makes me the happiest. I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I enjoy taking them. Thanks! Alex
