About me
b. 1971 in Barcelona. I am a freelance independent photographer based in Bristol, UK. I graduated from Barcelona University with a degree in Spanish Language and Literature. At the age of five I got my first camera (a little toy camera) with the one I enjoyed the most, but my true interest for photography developed when I studied several informal courses during my living years in London. Afterwards, I completed a degree in Technical Artistic Photography, and my work was selected by the prestigious Commissioner, Rafael Doctor (ex-director of the MUSAC), for my final project ‘ManSOS’, in the last edition of the portfolio review at -Emergent International Photography Festival.
My work normally focuses on street photography, but I have worked on documenting some art festivals, teaching, and I am also interested in photographing architecture and interiors.
"To me, basically, photography is all about to know where I am: here, and who I am: this moment. It is through the lens that I lose consciousness of breathing, and I forget myself to meet with myself again, because ultimately: what we see is what we are."
