BIOGRAPHY

One day, when I was almost 20 and working as a waiter in a restaurant in Amsterdam, I found on a table a cheap camera that some guest probably forgot--one of those normal Kodak film cameras for tourists that everybody was using before the digital explosión. I brought that camera with me on a trip of a few months to India. I was there with two friends that summer after the Dutch winter. I came back with 23 rolls of Kodak color film--a thousand multicolored shots of India, every copy with the time and the date printed on it. I then decided to study photography for three years in Florence, where I graduated from L.A.B.A. (Libera Accademia Di Belle Arti) and where I started doing work in fashion, cinema and journalism. In Barcelona I finished my postgraduate degree in Photojournalism at I.E.F.C.(Institut d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya). I'm currently living in Barcelona where I'm working freelance with Spanish and international magazines, and I collaborate with two Photo Agencies and Art Galleries.

The intent is to "find a sense of chaos present, a balance in the disorder", and through this search, to find the Symbol of Common Wisdom. Our Wisdom is Balance. Through the streets we seek a way and with this one we choose our own path. The individual finds an alignment with the rest, a balance, a serene response to the innate and restless thirst for the knowledge of human behavior and existential fulfillment.

THE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

The Street blends the gift of privacy with the excitement of participation.
An urban question that has in its depth a lucidity and a wisdom as a characteristic of the sophisticated social life that is typical of big cities.
