The cover:
What drew me to this image was the stark whiteness of the new car juxtaposed against the old, beautifully stained walls of an abandoned building. The word 'independència' clearly referring to the desire of Catalan independence somehow metaphorically spoke to the endurance of this dream; from the past when the building had life and occupancy to the present when brand new Minis pass through the streets.3 of 6

I'm 26 years old. I grew up outside Boston in the US and earned a degree in Anthropology from Columbia University. I've been taking pictures for eight years and have visited over 30 countries photographing and creating documentary stories. I'm currently travelling through Israel and Palestine examining the conflict there through the eyes of women.4 of 6
My favourite time of day
is late afternoon when the light makes anything and everything look phenomenal.5 of 6
My favourite place in Barcelona
is Born. I love getting lost in the narrow streets, surrounded by art galleries, boutiques and cafés.6 of 6
An essential item
is my iPhone. I use it to make voice memos and notes, take audio clips of my subjects, to photograph, to check the weather. You name it, it does it!This month's 'An Inside Look' features the work of American photographer Melanie Aronson.
Take a look at the slideshow to see more of her work.
If you would like to be the featured artist and get your work published in the magazine and used for the cover then please send your work to design@barcelona-metropolitan.com.
The only brief is that it has to represent a personal view of Barcelona or Catalunya.
