I love urban Photography focusing on the architecture. The concrete and the glass.
I'm currently living in Hong Kong and will probably never stop photographing this city. It's an amazing urban environment in a spectacular natural setting. I'm trying to photograph more and more the less famous part of this city. I will be posting more of these scenes in the coming time.
I just started my own website, xavibarca.com.
My love for architecture comes from my mother having worked in an architecture firm and being raised with a love for old and modern architects is infecting. My hero is the genius of Gaudi.
My favorite cities are Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hong Kong, Lisbon and Sevilla.
When I will be moving back to Europe I will be spending as much time as I can on the Iberian peninsula shooting most of these cities.
High on my list to visit are also Istanbul, Porto, Salamanca and Stockhom.

I Prahin | www.southeastasia-images.com says:
"Architectual photography is one of my particular interests; there are some excellent photographers specializing in this genre, but Xavibarca's images of Hongkong and Sydney are some of the best, particularly his blue hour, street scenes in the canyons of HK. Magnificent technique and control of exposure & color."

"A jaw dropping photographer bringing a new view of Hong Kong everytime. I love his moody black and white cityscapes of Hong Kong best, he manages to bring emotions to concrete, glass and steel through his photographs very well."

TIA International Photography says:
"Xavibarca's photography is incredibly creative, dazzling, and ultimately quite stunning. Everyday, I visit his collection just to engage in his magnificent cityscapes of Hong Kong. He has taken urban landscape photography to a much higher level in his portrayal of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Please make sure to take several minutes to view his artistic work. It is incredible."
