Personal Work - Around Me

Around Me

Located in district 10 of Barcelona, Poble Nou started off as an industrial area, but a few years back, businesses began disappearing at the same rate that it became a magnet of sorts for artists, liberal professionals, and those that dedicate themselves to new professions or trades.

The architecture of its old factories and industrial spaces has made the neighbourhood ideal for photographers, painters, musicians, designers, advertising agencies, production companies, IT companies, etc. to carry out their work in ample and peculiar spaces.

In this way, artists and entrepreneurs have ended up coexisting with traditional companies and professions.

Like Enrique, with more than 40 years of experience and one of the last active glass blowers, or internationally renowned DJ Davide Squillace and his “This and That Lab” production company, or even me, a fashion and advertising photographer.

Thus was born "AROUND ME"

The project consists of photographing the personalities, both new and lifelong, that surround me and that contribute to making this neighbourhood so unique.

I’m a starting point, and, much like a shockwave, I’m reaching out and getting to know and studying my neighbours in order to portray them in their environment and in the way that best reflects their profession and themselves.

This is just the beginning. The wave will continue along its path to encompass more and more.
