These photos`s exhibition, composed by 28 photos ʼ was taken in several
cities of Europe and in New York City too.
Do What You Will itʼs a collection of images realized in several trips that
I have made. The most recent in 2008 by inter-rail, where I visited 12
cities in 30 days.
I went from Barcelona to Istanbul, where I stayed for 15 days. London,
Paris, Berlin, Prague, Lisbon and Venice… were some of the cities I
have been. I collected these photos spontaneously, through my eyes
discoveries. Some cities were easier to collect, others not.
I always prefer to shoot themes where are people in it. Itʼs always the
romantic side I want to point out.
The people are a must in my memories, of those places; they are the
ones that make a city alive.
Some of them donʼt have people in it, just images, but you can tell that
are a human side in it.
Persons that I was deeply involved, others just for a very short time.
People on the streets, in the cars, in their bedrooms, in bars, in the
markets, in subways, boats or trains… wondering people, waiting for the
next train, or only going somewhere determinate.
“I want the reality to appear like a dream in a world of illusions.”
Blaise Cendras
The photos are in black and white in the size of 24x30.
The images are on 35mm film digitalized and printed.
