Impares.
Pioneer of
street photography, Garry Winogrand inspired me when having to fulfil a school
project. My idea was to document Barcelona’s (my home town) essence by taking
pictures of its most intimate corners. However, one thing led to another, and
ended up wanting Barcelona to be seen from an utterly different perspective.
Have you
ever sat beside someone ( say.. in a bus for instance!) and imagined what their
lives must be like? ‘Impares’ (odds, as
in: odd numbers) is the title I chose for my photographic report. My aim was to
capture, spontaneously, individuals among crowded Barcelona. Therein lays the relation with Garry
Winogrand. The purpose is sociologic.
Therefore, rather than focusing on the
formal composition of each and every single picture, my aim was to take simple
shots at whomever stood out amongst the masses of people.
On the
other hand, the reason why I chose not to enhance a wide chromatic range, is
because I find it leads me to represent the ambiguity of the unknown. Black and
white, contrasts of light. Such details are the letters of a novel.
Let the
pictures speak for themselves.
From me to
you.
