A picture a day takes the doctor away. (Eng / Spa) Documenting traditional festivals. In the Mediterranean area of the Iberian Peninsula, the festival of the night of San Juan is traditionally celebrated. It is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years and its pagan origin celebrates the summer solstice, in which useless things are burnt and evil spirits are chased away. In its representation, demons chase the daring ones who dare to stand in their way. Castellano. En la…

A picture a day takes the doctor away (Eng / Spa) Portrait processing There are times when daring development and extreme burns work well. In this case, the backlighting was so strong that it left no other option and taking it to the extreme worked. Although to be honest, there are other times when it's better to take the file straight to the bin. Castellano Procesado de un retrato. Hay veces que revelados osados y quemaduras extremas dan buen resultado. En este caso, el…
Paisaje modificado por el hombre. (SPA / ENG) La Geria, Lanzarote. Se pude decir que en términos geológicos, las colinas que vemos en la imagen, que son antiguos volcanes, hace cuatro días que estaban escupiendo fuego por el crater. Pero el hombre las hizo suyas y con paciencia elevó un muro de piedra alrededor de cada parra para que no se la llevara el viento que constantemente asola la zona. Solo así pudo obtener algún rendimiento de una tierra que aunque fértil, es…

Aerial photograph. Catamaran from the zenith. (ENG / SPA) Private catamaran anchored on the posidonia meadow near the coast of Ibiza. The dark part of the sea that can be seen in the image is far from being negative, on the contrary, it is a meadow of posidonia, the algae that oxygenates the sea and makes the waters close to the coast pristine. The health of our Mediterranean depends on the conservation of this ecosystem, which, as can be deduced, is extremely fragile. For…

A picture a day take the doctor away. Photography of urban space. (ENG / SPA) I am of the opinion that to make a complete reportage of a city, architectural details are essential. This image corresponds to a detail of a modernist building in Barcelona. The city experienced its period of architectural splendour during the first quarter of the 20th century, when the owners of the buildings in the Eixample competed to have the most spectacular façades. This, combined with the…

A picture a day... ENG / SPA In the rather recent past, photographers used a thing called film to record our images. There were also cameras of different formats, cameras that would now be considered rare. Well, the panoramic image I bring you today is one of those rarities. It was made with the Hasselblad X-Pan panoramic camera, a high-precision machine that could record on the same roll of film, normal sized 35x24mm photos and panoramic format photos about twice as wide.

Historic heritage photography.

This is the pyramid of Pharaoh Zoser, the oldest of the great pyramids. For the cover photo of the site it was important to give a good overview of the site, in the best possible light and without too many people. The result was that I had to…

Photographing historical heritage In this type of photography there are details that must necessarily be included in the report of the building or style. To do this, the subject (the door) must be isolated, captured in its full dimension and a human figure must be introduced as a size reference. This magnificent door is from the Casa Comalart in Barcelona designed by the architect Salvador Valeri i Pupurull, one of the most representative buildings of Catalan Modernisme. The…

A picture a day, takes the doctor away. (ENG / SPA) Another architectural picture. This time it is a singular building in the Argentine capital, the Naval Hospital, the work of the renowned architect Clorindo Testa, who was one of the advocates of the brutalist style, although in the design of the hospital he did not follow the guidelines of the style that made him famous. I have processed the image using a solarisation technique used in analogue photography at the time the…
A picture a day, takes the doctor away (ENG / ESP) The tourist season is starting. And with it the extravagant and out of their head clubbers. They arrive at the beach without having slept all night and flop down on the shore with the idea that the water will cool their heads. All they get is their picture taken. The black and white is to emphasise the moment. Castellano Empieza la temporada turística. Y con ella los visitantes playeros extravagantes y "pasados de vueltas".…
