ENGLISH
The competition is fierce when it comes to content.
I’ve noticed that when I have my camera in hand and I'm out photographing, many people mistake me for a "YouTuber," "content creator," or vlogger.
In this market, I’ve been asked that several times.
Many people look up to these individuals who have become famous.
And when I tell them I’m a photographer and aspiring filmmaker, there’s an awkward silence.
It makes me laugh, honestly, and at the same time, I think about how to direct my photographic work.
Everything is content; everything is personal branding. "If you're not on camera, you're lost; you are your own product."
I have an internal struggle with this because I prefer to give prominence to people and their stories.
My camera and I are just instruments. The act of selecting who or what to photograph, or even choosing the composition, is subjective enough on my part.
However, we have to be realistic.

La competencia es feroz cuando se trata de contenido.
Me he dado cuenta de que cuando tengo la cámara en mano y ando fotografiando, muchos me confunden con "youtuber", "creador de contenido" o vlogger.
En este mercado, me lo preguntaron varias veces.
Muchos tienen como referencia a estas personas que se han hecho famosas.
Y cuando les digo que soy fotógrafo y aspirante a cineasta, hay un silencio incómodo.
Me da risa, la verdad, y al mismo tiempo pienso en cómo dirigir el trabajo fotográfico.
Todo es contenido, todo es marca personal. “Si no sales en cámara, estás perdido; eres tu propio producto.”
Tengo una lucha interna con esto, porque soy de los que prefieren darle protagonismo a la gente y sus historias.
Mi cámara y yo solo somos un instrumento. El hecho de seleccionar quién o quiénes, o incluso elegir la composición, ya es suficientemente subjetivo de mi parte.
Sin embargo, hay que ser realistas.
