For
Ramon Roca-Sastre (Barcelona, Spain, 1972) photography is not
only the study of the technique and colour, but a spiritual contemplation
of everything that surrounds us.
After
studiying photography in IEFC , Ramon discovered that black and
white photography is a meeting point of both natural and artificial
worlds.
Ramon
admires particularly the works of Joseph Sudek, Toni Catany and
André Kertesz. His first encounter with photography was
when his uncle gave him a Rollei 35TE as a present. Only few years
later, Ramon decided to control the creative process from the
beginning to the end in his laboratory.
Currently,
he works with a 35mm negative and a 6 x 4.5 cm size, mostly in B/W
print film and silver gelatin paper. He doesn't plan to use digital
photography, since the quality and feel that silver prints give
are not by far reached by digital prints.
