Arnau Blanch is a Spanish photographer, who has studied
at the Institut d’Estudis Fotografics de Catalunya as well as the New York
International Center of Photography. Although he does not make a living off of
photography it has not stopped him from making amazing photos. He stated that
he saves up money for his projects this way it allows him complete creative freedom
over what he is doing and how he wants to do it. Also explained in an interview
he stated that he uses his projects as a way to challenge his self and face
some of his fears. “I use my camera as a way to approach reality and how to
deal with it” (Quoted from the interview). As for his camera equipment he uses
both film and digital, one camera is the 5D mark II and the second is the
Olympus Miju I.
In the three images above one can definitely relate
what he says to the pictures he takes. For the three images they are from two
different projects, “Fantasmas” and “Veneno” both done in black and white. For
me I don’t expect much from black and white images, yet Blanch has done very
well in capturing a great amount of emotion especially fear. Throughout both
projects Blanch plays with lighting and other elements sometimes giving the
images a bent or distorted look on reality. Possibly a small glimpse into the
way he views the world. I would love to be able to create images that have the
same intense level of emotion meaning and story with in it.
