Josep has always been attracted to the plastic arts. He likes painting, cinema, comics, photography... When he was a teenager, he used to paint in oils, but he gave it up due to lack of time. Then he became interested in photography, first analog, then digital.

Consciously or not, when we take pictures we are influenced by our visual culture. The aesthetic roots of Josep’s photos come from painters (Velázquez, Goya, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Hopper), filmmakers (Hitchcock, Ford, Minnelli), cartoonists (Hergé, Jacobs, Raymond) and photographers (Cartier – Bresson, Català Roca, Forcano, Maier, Haas, Brassaï, Leiter)

Josep is not a professional photographer. Photography is not his job, it’s his passion. He likes to go for a walk, swimming, watch soccer and basket, jazz, cinema…

As Elie Cohen Gewerc says: "Free time is a part of life that remains after fulfilling everything and everyone. Time without obligations or expectations. It is the second opportunity for my inner and true being to flourish. There are people with talents and aspirations who do not express themselves because they have to work. Free time offers them the opportunity to do so."

Barcelona is his city and his project is the street photography.

After a few years in analog photography, in 2010 Josep switched to digital photography with a Nikon D90; then he started his Barcelona urban photography project. In 2022 he replaced the camera with a new Nikon Z5.

“Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.”

Paul Klee
