Emilio’s work is a response to moments. As an interdisciplinary artist, Emilio works within photographic mediums as well as collage, collaborating with other artists to visualize ideas within their community. Their practice works within the notion of recalling a hazy memory just out of reach; simultaneously softening and blowing out highlights and noisy shadows. Emilio also uses synesthesia as a point of reference to aid the translation of various textures and visions in music into visuals for others to experience. Working in collaboration with their subject, Emilio prioritizes the connection formed in the moment, and will usually spend more time talking and walking before taking any photographs, ultimately reacting to the environment constructed between the subject and the photographer. Often setting their work in either the warm, naturalistic landscapes of South Florida or atmospheric minimal setting of the lighting studio, highlighting specific aspects of the individual/subject capturing the indescribable and ephemeral energy felt in the music that they choose to play in that moment.
