Hi every body, I'm Xavi, a catalan man (Catalonia, Europe), who took his first photo in a Kodak Instamatic 126 in black and white at the age of 10 years old (I think), then, at 16 I got my first slr and at 25 i got my photographer certification in Brussels.

You may see my moments not just here but in my personal web, my english speaking is not as great as I would like, but I'm not use to use it (I have to go to USA to learn faster in a next future, if I got the permission), my mother language is catalan but I speak perfectly spanish and french (writing too, of course), italian is not a problem and chinese, it is.

I always loved photojournalism, or the real photojournalism, I'm not photographer to sell violence, I am photographer to sell happiness, to try to change that (our) world with emotions, or the basic valours of the human being taht are going desapearing day by day for medias world.

Three years ago I left Brussels where I got a shop with studio, where I did the ****ing commercial shots but at the same time I started seriously my nudes works.

Nudes, what I like about woman nudes is really simple, I'm not using women as an object so, I'm just taking portraits of hers personalities, natural people who is giving positive energy to the others. Many times I choose women who had a close relationship with classic ballet, just because is a the perfect formation for a woman and, at the same time, they sculp her body and movements with a precission I need to direct them...

Imaging, well, I make some compositions with a personal touch, before discovering computers world I was a fan of photocollages, so, you can understand many things of myself.

But the real truth about me is, I need people to give a sence to my life. Meeting new people, new experiences, is a great pleasure to me. I know I always I'll be ignorant, but, if I wasn't
how stupid should be my existence...

You are welcome to my space and, if you can, buy me some of my happiness moments, thank's a lot.

Xavi
