"Sou um selvagem, uma criança - ou um maníaco; ponho de lado todo o saber, toda a cultura, abstenho-me de ser herdeiro de um outro olhar" (Roland Barthes)
"The history of photography could be recapitulated as the struggle between two different imperatives: beautification, which comes from the fine arts, and truth telling" (Susan Sontag)
"Photography is the easiest thing in the world, if one is willing to accept pictures that are flacid, limp, bland, banal, indiscriminately informative and pointless, but if one insists on a photograph that is both complex and vigorous, it is almost impossible"
John Szarkowski (director of MoMA 1962-2001)
"You don't make a photograph just with your camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved"
Ansel Adams

AmberVive "Une Imagination" says:
"Cuando entre a flickr uno de los primeros fotógrafos que aprecié fue a Joao, sería demasiado pretencioso para mi calificar su trabajo, solamente puedo decir, que me parece notable, y que es para mi un maestro del blanco y negro y también del color. Lo más notable de todo es que mantiene su infinita sencillez y calidez..como solo lo hacen los hombres realmente grandes."

"Eu venho muitas, muitas vezes a este canto olhar as fotos do João...
As imagens do João despuletam sensações... há algo que eu sinto e não sei explicar...nem eu acho que deva ter qualquer explicação, são mesmo para sentir.
O jogo de foque/desfoque, que o João domina por completo, remete-me de imediato para o imaginário e eu gostaria mesmo é que tu, João, soubesses que teu trabalho em nada me deixa indiferente, pelo contrário... tu tens a marca registada de um olhar subjectivo, onírico, conceptual (nem sei qual adjectivo usar...) que é surpreendente, muito bonito de ver.
Que linda é esta tua forma de olhar!
Beijo grande e fica bem :-)"22nd April, 2008

"O João Batista é o fotógrafo mais "despassarado" que eu conheço.. perde-se em todo o lado... Mas ele consegue fazê-lo tão bem que nos leva por esse caminhos em descoberta de novos olhares, de novos mundos :))***"

Glenbourne At Home says:
"A photographer never afraid to experiment. Joao Batista produces his images which are far from the conventional. It's always exciting to see how far Joao will go with his next image, but Joao never abandons good photographic principles for the sake of the unconventional alone. His works always displays strong composition, good lighting and exceptional tonal range and contrast.
Joao does produce some colour work but is generally regarded as mainly a monochrome worker. It's perhaps this which attracts me to Joao's work in the first place. The slightly unconventional monochrome image is an applealing one.
Well see what you think, and have a look at his photostream. I'm sure like myself, you will feel that it hasn't been time wasted."9th May, 2007
