Barcelona in Color: 25 Years Photographing Architecture and the City
This spring I turn 25 years as an architectural photographer: it is 25 years photographing the architecture and urban landscape of my hometown Barcelona.
Barcelona is a monumental catalogue of contemporary architecture and a feast for the eyes for anyone who looks at it. Representing Barcelona in photographs for so many years and showing it to the world is really an uncommon opportunity.
Architectural photographs are the vehicles that interpret and synthesize in images the essential features that make the city or a new architecture project different and unique. In a few words, architectural photography is nothing but a matter of persuasion, a way of interpreting the city and its architecture to create photographs that first seduce by their appearance to those who contemplate them and turn from that point on the spark of dialogue and communication between architects, photographers and viewers.
It has been my intent these years to use the simplest visual language so my Barcelona pictures can be continually and always interpreted all over the world. It is like playing some kind of fascinating game of abstracting the city but, doing it for 25 years about my hometown is a complete architectural photographer's bliss.
