Classic Narcissus: model Alex R. captured by Gonzalo Bènard
Living and working in Spain, Portuguese born artist Gonzalo Bènard has just released a new photo book entitled “My Lonely Mornings“.
When some years ago I moved to Barcelona, from my window I had a view that never had before: several buildings right in front and “too” close. I saw myself once at night looking to those windows, observing people coming in and out from the rooms, kitchen, etc in separate lives. They probably wouldn’t know their own neighbours, but I was observing their intimate lives as if they were in a stage, co-existing but not meeting each other.
This inspired me for this “satellite experiment” project, showing the intimate lonely mornings.
Available at blurb.com, the book contains shootings from several models, both girls and guys. However, these preview photos are from the same model James L. from London, including the cover.

Spain-based photographer Gonzalo Bènard shares with YVY a set of self portraits he did this week: “A Tamed Horse“.
“This is a set of self-portraits about a tamed man by his horse, when visiting an old house and barn in ruins where I found some harnesses. Its on the line of my work about the relation between men and nature, when men can be wilder than animals, sometimes untamed.
Horses had always been a symbol of manhood, once we all have a need of tame the other, even in relationships. A question of wild egos. Tame and be tamed, in the wildest and primary sense. So here I use my own body as man and as horse in a play “who tames who”, Being my own horse for a while…” – G. Bènard
