NEW PORTRAITS FOR THE "MUSICIANS" SERIES /
I had the chance to hear a wonderful concert by the string quartet El Quartet de l'Art, in an old church in Ordino, Andorra. The day after I did the portraits of two members of the quartet: Gaëtane Duynslaeger, cellist and teacher at the IAE Oriol Martorell (Barcelona) and her husdband David Olmedo, violinist and director of the string department at the Conservatori Municipal de Barcelona. In the same session I also did a portrait of their son, Alex Olmedo, also a great cellist.

New portraits made with a wonderful analog Hasselblad camera /
I've just did a mise à point for the fantastic Hasselblad 500 MC that belonged to Marcel Giró.
It's been a nice experience to dive into analog world again: holding this heavy, solid piece of precision camera and shooting guessing what will be the results.
Max.

Singer and guitar player JOrdi Batiste, A new portrait for the "MUSICIANS" series /
Jordi Batiste is surely one of the active artists with a resume of vertigo. Often music historians have placed him as one of the fathers of pop-rock in Catalan after being part of IA & Batiste or, before, Els 3 Tambors. However, his name came to the fore when along with Enrique Herrera founded the group Màquina!, which was erected in the spanish musical forefront as a new way of pop/rock that broke molds and clichés. Solo he has released several albums, the most recent Nova, with whom he has returned to psychedelia and the most fresh, daring and vital rock'n roll.
Exhibition at "Les Escales", La Floresta, Sant Cugat /
A small exhibition with 5 of my lines series will be exhibited at Les Escales in La Floresta, until end of June 2016.
New photo book: Línies /
In this project I seek to synthesize what I photograph, forcing the contrast to reduce it to combinations of lines and shapes, black on white.
The results are images that often lose the reference point becoming graphic, almost abstract compositions.
When you see them you enter the game to see its most graphic side and at the same time what they actually represent.
