Deepening the use of a simple tool is the sacred work of many years.
Modern society rewards the novel, rewards the easy accessibility to these ever-new sensibilities, making it more difficult for those who are looking for something symbolic in their daily life to find connection and work that remembers the transcendent and eternal.
Today we have access to hundreds of mechanical, optical, digital and electronic devices that ensure the realization of the photographic miracle. But, within all those tools there is no shortcut to the inner realization to that miracle except through one's own dedication to the work and art.
The permanent fire that burns in the old alchemist's workshop indicates the path to philosophical gold through constant, serious and persistent study and experience.
My job is to continually evolve and deepen as a husband, father and human being. And, to bring all I learn in this striving for excellence to the work I create as a Cinematographer.
I look forward to working with you!
The best is yet to come,
Mario Montero
