About me
Hello,
My Name is Fortes Odair, born and raised in Luxembourg, but as I am studying Architecture I live now in Brussels.
Before moving to Brussels I never realized the landscapes, nature or beauty that surrounds us everyday. Luxembourg is a small country and as a student it was a daily routine to wake up go to school head back home, eat and sleep. It was after when I moved and sometimes visited my parents in Luxembourg when I realized how beautiful the country is, especially when you ride with the train for several hours. This realization made me visit Europe and other Continents, to experience and to explore more.
I got the first film camera by accident when I was walking down a flea-market and saw a Polaroid that could be a nice random gift for my girlfriend. And was the moment I saw all those beautiful silver/black cameras lined up waiting to be purchased. The very first i had in my hand was an Olympus , it was heavy and the chrome finish looked just perfect and and the overall feeling felt great in my hands (compared to the plastic cameras they produce nowadays). Since the day I purchased it I bring it everywhere with me capturing those moments people just miss in life like I did. Hoping they will realize what they have in life.
I use a Olympus Om2-N with a 50mm 1,4f Zuiko lens for most of my shots and a Rolleiflex 3.5 MX EVS with a 75mm 3,5f Tessar Carl Zeiss lens mounted on it.
Flashes, Reflectors and other tools are taboo for me. Capturing the moment and freeze it forever on a negative film as I view it trough the viewfinder.
