Barcelona has a very diverse culture through its architecture, history, and everyday life. I wanted to capture the smaller details of those aspects of the city with street photography. This form of photography is capturing candid moments of individuals and places with the goal of creating stories of authentic moments. With the use of black and white, I wanted to bring focus to the subject without the distraction of color to better focus on the stories being told within the photos.<\/p>\n

Roaming through the streets of Barcelona, you\u2019ll see a wide range of people, but a consistent hobby seen throughout is skateboarding. With big flat walkable streets, the city is made for experimentation on how you want to travel. Skateboarders typically have their favorite spots such as the Nevermind Bar<\/a>, or Placa de la Universitat<\/a> and they will be there all hours of the day. The fashion found within the skating community also plays a big role in expressing their individuality. Exploring these areas you\u2019ll find skaters wearing fashion a variety of unique styles which makes for interesting subject matter.<\/p>\n

The Gothic Quarter in Barcelona has some of the more unique architecture since it\u2019s the oldest part of the entire city. There are certainly big breathtaking pieces of architecture such as the Cathedral de Barcelona<\/a> or the Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona.<\/a> But what interested me most while exploring was the smaller details. How light hits a building creates a lot of contrast between the lighter and darker areas. Even looking up gives you an interesting perspective of how jam-packed the city is. Having so many buildings crammed together I felt created interesting shadows that aren\u2019t really seen in cities in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
