THE DIVERSITY OF THE SMALL

In 2008 and 2009, Manuel Única photographed mushrooms in the hill lands of Guadalajara, adding to these images others taken in 2013. About 80 photos were selected from this archive that narrate relationships, contrasts and visual anecdotes. Creating images with a unique, sustained attraction is one of the main attributes of Única’s photography, an author with a calling to observe and a sensitive capacity for spinning a yarn. Among the attractions of Small Landscapes –the first book of photographs edited by WorkOnPaper–, is the extensive variety of mushrooms which, in the different spaces portrayed, without altering the scene and without any other source of lighting than natural light.
