The life of the slums of Barcelona of the last century

Catalan photographer Joan Colom (Joan Colom) became famous thanks to its street pictures taken in one of the most deprived areas of the capital of Catalonia - Raval. This year, the master turned '91.

Besides that Raval was a place where the poor live and work, and it is still considered the area "red light district". Feature photo Joan - no posing and shooting only a hidden camera. Therefore, you will not see are highly or perfectly aligned photo pictures portraits. The main thing in his works - the maximum transmission of emotions, postures, movements in the moment. Precisely because of this Catalonian gained fame in Europe, and then in his native country. The paradox, but at the very Joan Colom (Joan Colom) practically no pictures. They were all given away friends and museums. Often, the photographer create homemade photo albums and gave them to their loved ones.
