"Encounters" by Vanina Suriano (Photography)

This is a photographic exhibition about an old cafe in Buenos Aires. "The first time I saw the cafe, I felt that there was something special in the environment to capture, a place with stories and encounters of an age where time was to spare. These series of portraits of "El Banderin", have moments where people are at ease, relaxed, getting in touch with themselves and with others. I had the intention to capture emotions, moods, and sensations while observing and spying customers."

Vanina Suriano comes from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and has been a photographer for the past six years. Her preferred areas are reportage and portraits and her strength lies in building a close rapport with her subjects capturing their true personality on film.

She specializes in children's photography and reportage-style work. She now lives and works in London.
