Not only is the photography spectacular, but the texture added by the mattes makes each photograph more than a picture, each is a singular work of art. Betto has a definite eye for photography. He captures colors and light in ways that illuminate a situation. Character, and emotions can be seem in every pixel of his pictures. Every culture he photographs is unique, and each picture makes this apparent. There is an exceptional quality in each photograph that highlights Betto's talent. A great show that should not be missed!
The photos drew me in, and I felt like I was part of the scene. It was refreshing to see a new take on ancient venues. I love the textured framing - such a creative way to tie it all together.
Betto Ortiz’s new show captures images and feelings from various settings. An avid traveler and photographer, Betto shares his eye with the audience. The people are like-like. The emotion jumps off the page. You feel the woman’s happiness in her face from a long-live life full of love. You feel the mist and heat from floating on the barge in the water. You understand a new culture and learn about life. Betto takes you beyond the paper into reality. The 3D matting adds texture and enhances each photo’s story. From Colombia to Rome to Peru, you travel the World while walking through the show. Breathtaking and refreshing!
