You are as unique and genuine as if you were made of the very essence of which we are all a part.
"Humans on Planet Sky" (HumansBeingHumans) is alook at human beauty, no matter what form it takes.
Anyone who wants to step in front of a camera—and sometimes have a brief encounter with Lorena Basoa—is welcome to join this experience. Age, gender, beliefs, culture, race, emotional states, political ideologies, styles of dress, and ways of feeling don’t matter; in fact, diversity is exactly what we aim to showcase in order to connect it to the essence.
Access to this experience comes from:
– Throughchance encounterswith acquaintances and strangers who catch our attention, and we ask them to take some photos and chat with them.
– Throughprojects funded by organizations that seek to raise awareness of certain groups, with an emphasis on the human aspect.
– Through "photoconciencia" sessions, which are personal photo shoots designed primarily to celebrate and enjoy a wonderful experience through a photo session.
– Recently, through individual and group meetings with pilgrims at the Pontevedra Pilgrims' Hostel
If you give us permission, these photographs will be posted on social media and, when possible, featured in exhibitions—for the sole purposeof connecting with one another, showcasing authenticity, savoring the art of human expression, and sharing beauty.
And that place of beauty—which lies not in the photograph, but in each person’s gaze—is what we call Planeta Cielo.
Only the ideas that are not connected to our essence are the ones that separate us.
So this intimate approach to connecting through a beautiful gaze is what defines this project.
Thank you for joining us!

Gallery
You can follow the HumanosenelplanetaCielo universe on the Instagram and Facebook accounts created for that purpose, although we're also sharing a small portfolio here.
Some of these photographs were taken during scheduled photo sessions for specific projects, while others are more spontaneous shots of strangers and acquaintances who agreed to be photographed and were eager to join this project.
EXHIBITIONS
If you are a public or private organization that wants to raise awareness about a particular group, with an emphasis on the human and emotional aspects, we can help you.
We’ll design a photo exhibition featuring portraits and interviews with people who want to share their personal stories and raise awareness for the cause you’re promoting. Don’t hesitate to contact us.
Here is a video summary of one of the activities we carried out with the Boavida Association in Pontevedra.
We're also sharing another video featuring photos taken at a "humanosenelplanetacielo" gathering organized by Lorena Basoa and featuring Isabel (text and narration: Lorena Basoa)
