\nMeritxell Villalba <\/strong>\/ Sarah Gonz\u00e1lez
\n<\/strong>Jan Moncl\u00fas
\n<\/em>Jan let us get on with things. \u00a0Although he seemed shy, it occurred to us to sit him on an upturned stool. We have evidence. It was fun to fit him into it.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Jenifer G\u00f3ngora <\/strong>\/ Mat\u00edas Rojas <\/strong>\/ Ra\u00fal Serrano
\n<\/strong>Svetlana Limnios
\n<\/em>Svetlana is looking through a window. She\u2019s keeping watch over various places, brightening up the world from her nest. Parts of her face and body are black\u2013potential Svetlanas yet to be imagined. In the entrails of her studio, we have a glimpse of some shelves. The photo does not aspire to show the world through the artist\u2019s eyes. It is the world that observes her.\u00a0 \u00a0It shows us what she wants to convey, but on the journey from inside to out we have managed to capture a hint of innocence.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Zaira Gallego <\/strong>\/ Malena Bravo de Soto
\n<\/strong>Alberto Gil C\u00e1sedas
\n<\/em>Alberto Gil C\u00e1sedas uses white as a colour in almost all his work. What best represents him is time, since the titles of all his works of art reflect how long he took to create them. Likewise, he is also identified with typewriters, which he uses for the underlying idea behind his work.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Blanca Ruiz <\/strong>\/ Judit Zapater
\n<\/strong>Alejandro Palac\u00edn
\n<\/em>We arranged to meet Alejandro at Halfhouse, but none of us knew where it was. We got there and wondered whether it really was the right place. (The place was linked to a mechanic\u2019s). We waited half an hour for him to turn up and when we decided to go in, he was already there. We did a \u201cthe making of\u201d<\/em> with the work in the studio, twice getting it wrong\u2013once at the entrance to the building, ringing on the interphone (when the door opened before we even got to ring), and the other when the lift didn\u2019t work (you needed a key to operate it). We had to go up the stairs and do the background in black there.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Maria L\u00f3pez <\/strong>\/ Mar\u00eda Mar\u00edn
\n<\/strong>P\u00eda Sommer
\n<\/em>When we went to P\u00eda\u2019s house, we were surprised by her aura of sweet serenity. When the session was over, she invited us to a vermouth and gave us some books of hers and another book on photography. It was a lovely experience.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"
\nLaia Crespo <\/strong>\/ Ainhoa Ben\u00edtez
\n<\/strong>Mariya Alipieva
\n<\/em>During the photo session, we tried to get the artist to interact with her works of art and, in the end, we decided on this one. In her work, there tends to be interplay with superimposed objects. The photo we chose conjures up her work.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"N\u00faria Capdevila <\/strong>\/ Sara Flores
\n<\/strong>Enric Farr\u00e9s Duran
\n<\/em>The balloon is from an exhibition of the artist\u2019s work in Madrid, which he took home. It\u2019s one of his memories of the opening of the show.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Olga Alcalde <\/strong>\/ Paula Castillo
\n<\/strong>Mercedes Pimiento
\n<\/em>We wanted to evoke Mercedes Pimiento\u2019s minimalist art through the concept of creation, with a hand that emerges from under the table and a series of objects scattered on top of it. It has a surrealist touch that ties in with Lee Miller\u2019s photography.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"David L\u00f3pez <\/strong>\/ Mart\u00ed Juanola
\n<\/strong>Ariadna Guiteras
\n<\/em>An unrepeatable experience. A studio shared with other artists. A fascinating place.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Meritxell Cort\u00e9s <\/strong>\/ Cristian Agull\u00f3
\n<\/strong>Josefina Valenzuela Reymond
\n<\/em>The artist works with industrial components and with shapes. The black tube she is holding is both these things. She can just be seen in profile behind, with the blaze of the flash on her face. We wanted to highlight the texture and material of the tube and so we chose a neutral background and used the light so that her pullover appears to be a flat surface.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Sara D\u00edaz <\/strong>\/ Olga Mar\u00edn
\n<\/strong>M\u00f2nica Planes
\n<\/em>M\u00f2nica Planes\u2019 work has a strong metaphorical element to it. She reduces leisure facilities like amphitheatres or skate parks to sculptural structures which she intervenes in with fruit.
\nThe photograph replicates this same procedure. The artist is integrated in her own work, where a peach stands out. As she would say, \u00abplaying with fruit is not playing\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Sara Garc\u00eda <\/strong>\/ Laia Pe\u00f1arroya
\n<\/strong>Jessica Moroni
\n<\/em>We felt a very special kind of affinity with the artist. She collaborated very keenly in bringing to life the idea that we wanted to get across. When we looked at her website, we were immediately struck by the work that appears in the image. It was very clear to us that it would be the main feature.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Paula Matei <\/strong>\/ Marina Jim\u00e9nez
\n<\/strong>Jenny Owens
\n<\/em>Before the session began, Jenny invited us to a few drinks. As well as having a good time, we also found her to be very kind and polite. We would definitely repeat the experience.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Mart\u00ed Casanovas <\/strong>\/ Eva Hidalgo
\n<\/strong>Hannah Berestizhevsky
\n<\/em>We hit it off with Hannah right from the outset, leading to a very unrestrained receptive work climate, perfect for experimentation. We worked in her studio, always based on the same concept: layers. The final photos are two complementary portraits: a physical portrait of Hannah, showing her appearance, and another more spiritual artistic one, created with a projection on a drawn self-portrait.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Jenifer G\u00f3ngora <\/strong>\/ Mat\u00edas Rojas <\/strong>\/ Ra\u00fal Serrano
\n<\/strong>A\u00efda Andr\u00e9s Rodrig\u00e1lvarez
\n<\/em>We decided to use a digital pinhole camera, a camera with no lens. The light passes straight through an aperture. The loss of clarity gives forms an organic tactile quality, with more diffuse shades. The resulting photograph has much in common with A\u00efda Andr\u00e9s Rodrig\u00e1lvarez\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Mar\u00eda L\u00f3pez <\/strong>\/ Mar\u00eda Mar\u00edn
\n<\/strong>Sara Agudo Mill\u00e1n
\n<\/em>The day of the photo session with Sara Agudo was rainy, forcing us to explore possible scenarios for the photo, and we managed to succeed.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"
\nMeritxell Villalba <\/strong>\/ Sarah Gonz\u00e1lez
\n<\/strong>Laura Torres Bauz\u00e0
\n<\/em>Laura was very collaborative, although her expression changed when we said she had to roll around on the floor. Despite this, we treated her with delicacy and she came out very well in the photo.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Carlota Fern\u00e1ndez <\/strong>\/ Gisela Foguet
\n<\/strong>Yosman Botero
\n<\/em>Yosman is a Colombian artist who lives in Barcelona. \u00a0His workspace is a humble bedroom, whose bed also acts as a desk. At the moment, he\u2019s working on a project about mining. We decided to use the light from one of his mines to illuminate his face.<\/p>\n
