He was born in Mexico, in Tehuacán Puebla, and he is anthropologist and photographer. Anuar doesn't remember when he started to take photos, he says that he has always had a special affinition towards cameras.He thinks that the creativity has no limits. He wants to show the creativity of the reality: the diffrent and real stories and emotions which we don't see, the creativity of the nature that escapes of our view. So in his photos he tries to catch up strong emotions and shocking situations that we usually don't see. Of course, that's just a part of his work, he tries to capture the beauty too, he has photos of a lot of landscapes for example.
"I believe the best thing we can do as photographers is to give the world the tools to create some meaning and help ourselves and others observe the different perspectives of what we usually take for granted." by Anuar Patjane Floriuk
As you can see, this one is not really colorful. By the way, Anuar's photographs are usually black and white.
This photo has won two important awards. It is striking, dramatic and unusual. Dramatic because it's spectacular, and unusual because it's rare to see a whale and a little whale surrounded by people and with this light. It is spontaneous, the photographer didn't plan it, and it is powerful: having a look at the image we can imagine the power of the whale. It makes me think about how small are we and about how vulnerable are we if we are alone in the nature.
