As many other artists, my photography journey began with outdoor portraits and location shoots. Out magnificent Nature has it all - the light, the shapes, the colours. A perfect playground where you learn not only about the art you’re practicing, but also about yourself, where is your place and how you relate to it.
During my time living in the UK I began shooting more in the studio. I wasn’t able to connect fully with the constant clouds and rain, desperately searching for a stream of direct sunlight. This was one of the decisions to move back to a sunny coast. Barcelona and Spain in general has it all for me at this point - the sunshine, the clouds, the sea and the mountains. Honestly it is a place where I feel like Alice in Wonderland.
These collections of black&white photographs are created for a dear client of mine in one of the most magical places I’ve been - Vall de Núria. It is a south-opening valley coming down from the crest of the Pyrenees within the municipality of Queralbs, province of Girona, community of Catalonia, Spain.
We went around some little, private waterfalls, enjoyed the music of the forest, the sun and the cold, fresh water. My idea for the photographs was to get back to simply enjoying the process, not to focus on the outcome or so much of the technical aspects that my professional brain constantly observe. When you’ve turned your loved craft into a profession it looses the simplicity of the virginity, it’s like being an amateur is somehow more relaxed and freeing.
We did what we did. The outcome is beautiful. I enjoyed every moment and wish the day was longer so we can stay and play longer. I can’t wait to get back there with my camera and reate some more artworks.
*Photographs are censured due to client’s privacy. There are many more I’d like to share, but this is for now.
