FIRST STEPS
Initially Ricardo Gómez Pérez had to conquer his anxieties about his approaching fatherhood. But when his son was born in 1992 and a pair of twins followed in 1993, he was sold. He had to photograph them. Day after day he recorded how his three sons developed and slowly grew in the direction of taking their first steps. He continued until the boys became conscious of the camera and their attitudes and expressions were no longer natural. FIRST STEPS stands head and shoulders above the average family album. Gómez Pérez himself calls the very personal and nostalgic photo series ‘a diary of candid moments, from a period that will never return again’.
