“En el retrato no se debe hacer todo con fotoshop, se ve falso y lo que debe proyectar un político es confiabilidad, con una foto adulterada no le van a creer, pierde confianza y pierde esa naturalidad”, consideró el retratista David Ross.
Considerado como pionero e innovador a nivel internacional, en el estudio y conocimiento de la expresión del rostro humano, el retratista político David Ross en entrevista exclusiva para el Heraldo Estado de México, habló de su gran experiencia en la fotografía hasta especializarse en el retrato de políticos, como Presidentes de México, Gobernadores, Diputados, Senadores, empresarios y reconocidos artistas del país y del mundo.
¿Cómo nace su pasión por la fotografía y el retrato?
Yo tuve la suerte de tener en el kínder a unos compañeros que eran unos genios para el dibujo y yo no tenía esa facilidad, entonces de las fotos que veía en mi casa, yo le decía a mi mamá que ese era un dibujo muy bien hecho, eran las fotos. Eso me llevó a la idea de cubrir con la fotografía esa deficiencia que yo tenía para dibujar. A la edad de 8 años antes que una bicicleta quise una cámara fotográfica y desde ahí comenzó todo.
Ya después busqué tener una cámara profesional, porque me gustaba tomar imágenes en movimiento.
¿Cuándo comenzó a dedicarse a la fotografía de forma profesional?
Cuando entré a la universidad quise estudiar fotografía, pero en ese tiempo no había ninguna institución. Entonces me metí a estudiar física, que era lo que más me acercaba más a lo que yo quería, pero no me sentí cómodo y me cambié a la carrera de ingeniería civil, hice una maestría en planeación y después trabajé en el sector público y luego en la iniciativa privada y tuve la oportunidad de ser jefe del departamento técnico y de promoción, ahí necesitaba fotografías y no había fotógrafos especializados.
De ahí me llamó mucho la atención la mercadotecnia comercial e hice una maestría en la Universidad de las Américas que era la única en México que tenía esta disciplina y después ocupé puestos de mercadotecnia, hasta llegar a ser director corporativo de un grupo de empresas, luego formé una empresa integral con la que se dio servicio a las mejores empresas de la época para hacer sus informes anuales, que incluía la fotografía realizada por mí. Hay fotografías de metales que le dieron la vuelta al mundo.
Ya después hubo mucha competencia y empecé a hacer retrato político, había ya retratado a los presidentes de empresas mexicanos y extranjeros, el primer personaje en el ámbito político que retraté, fue Don Luis Legorreta que fue el fundador y presidente del Banco Nacional de México.
¿Ha pensado dejar un legado a través de la enseñanza?
Estoy apunto, tengo un plan muy interesante y muy ambicioso, hay una empresa internacional, que abarca un aproximado de mil fotógrafos en varias partes del mundo, se trata de que los viajeros contraten a un fotógrafo profesional y que tenga las mejores tomas de sus viajes, el fotógrafo cobraría por hora y algunas veces haría de guía.
Le propuse a esta empresa que yo adiestrara a estos mil fotógrafos para que en todas las ciudades más importantes de los países hubiera un fotógrafo profesional especialista en viajes.
También se debe de instruir a quienes ya tienen los conocimientos de fotografía y hacerlos conscientes de que en el retrato no se debe hacer todo con fotoshop, se ve falso y lo que debe proyectar un político es confiabilidad, a un político con una foto adulterada no le van a creer, pierde confianza y pierde esa naturalidad, pierde su simpatía, su empatía con una foto adulterada con el fotoshop no puede lograrse ese objetivo.
Puede ser que la academia se llame David Ross, a mi lo que me interesa es dejar un legado, de todo lo que he venido descubriendo, aprendiendo y experimentando a lo largo de estos años, que no se pierda.
¿Quién representa mayor dificultad para el retrato las mujeres o los hombres?
Depende mucho de la persona más que del género. Las mujeres siempre tratan de verse bonitas y tienen esa tendencia, se inclinan un poco más a la hermosura, pero yo les hago ver que no es más importante la hermosura que la belleza, la hermosura se ve y puede ser grata a la vista, la belleza es algo que no se ve, pero que se llega a sentir y que es real, que nos cautiva que nos provoca entusiasmo.
Hay mujeres en la política en todo el mundo que proyectan su belleza interna y que son reconocidas y recordadas por sus hechos y por lo que proyectan y no por su apariencia.
La belleza en el hombre se ve en la fuerza, en la determinación. Cuando se retrata a una mujer hay que convencerla primero que es más importante lo que sale de adentro, más que lo tiene fuera, no votan por una mujer cuando es Miss Universo, no vota la gente por un hombre bonito, si ayuda cuando está respaldado con una buena expresión de fortaleza.
¿Cuáles son los retos que ha enfrentado en el retrato?
Yo logro mi propósito, me sea más fácil o más difícil, todo depende de que la contraparte esté en la mejor disposición de ayudarme, pero a veces tienen una traba. Un ejemplo es el maestro Manzanero que tenía una sonrisa estereotipada, siempre era la misma, tuve que romper eso, pero él tuvo la paciencia y la disposición, después su sonrisa fue otra y fue espontánea en todos los retratos que le hice.
Hay una modulación previa del rostro de quien se va a retratar y después hay que obtener esa misma modulación a través del sentimiento.
Lo lamentable es que los consultores actualmente, dicen que el retrato no tiene ninguna trascendencia, cuando después se encuentran que perdieron la campaña por una mala percepción de la primera imagen. Se olvidan que lo primero que sale de una persona es esa imagen, es la primera impresión, tienen muy descuidado el retrato político y los candidatos muchas veces no se dan cuenta que es un instrumento fundamental para el éxito de su campaña y que no puede costar lo mismo que cuesta una fotografía en un local en donde se hacen credenciales.
¿Cómo pueden contactarlo?
A través de mi página David Ross, y de mis redes sociales, también en el canal de YouTube en donde hay videos y entrevistas.
“La fotografía política requiere ya en este momento una especialidad que proyecte el interior, la fuerza y el carisma de los políticos y eso ayuda mucho a consolidarse en su puesto, a ganar una elección o incluso gobernar mejor”:, retratista político
