Collserola is a place where I can easily lose myself. Watching the sun rise over the Mediterranean and the city, or set behind the mountains, are the best ways to start or end the day.

Walking through the woods with my camera, I capture the silence, peace and serenity that this small mountain range emits. At these times, there are just a few other people around, such as Paco and Silvia (pictured), who are also there to enjoy the stillness.

Not only is Collserola a space where I can breathe and observe the city from a distance, it also allows me to engage with my thoughts, relax and take in everything that is going on around me. I observe the seasonal changes, the plants, the views and the people I encounter. Walkers, runners and cyclists of all ages find themselves sharing this natural spot.

As a photographer, I focus on portraiture and documentary, exploring the different environments we live in. I photograph communities, cultures and habits in search of what connects us and what makes us all unique.
