Luis Linares: Turn Off Your Sight

31 Dec

Turn Off Your Sight is a visually immersive photography project examining perception, distortion, and identity through layered imagery and digital intervention. The series explores the tension between visibility and disorientation, using colour, motion, and repetition to disrupt the viewer’s reliance on a single point of focus. The resulting body of work feels intentionally unsettled, inviting interpretation rather than resolution.

Photographer Luis Linares establishes a strong photographic base through careful handling of light and exposure. His compositions create enough visual stability for the experimental elements to operate without overtaking the subject. Across the series, the imagery remains cohesive even as forms fragment and overlap.

Creative Director Lalo Machuca shapes a clear conceptual direction, ensuring the project’s visual complexity serves a unified purpose. This direction is reinforced by the digital work of Arturo Gonzalez, whose layered effects and colour manipulation introduce depth while respecting the integrity of the original images.

Xiomara Moreno brings a grounded and expressive presence, adapting fluidly to the project’s abstract demands. Her performance anchors the imagery, while Lizeth Arias’ makeup artistry and Claudio Montero’s hair styling support the surreal aesthetic without tipping into excess, with IsSheHungry-esque visual motifs. Mich Parrilla’s wardrobe styling adds structure and texture, completing a carefully constructed collaborative effort.
