About the Spanish / Catalan photographer, Txema SALVANS (b. 1971, in Barcelona)

Txema SALVANS chooses photography as one of the most intense ways to look at and experience daily life. Taking photographs is also a great way to interact with people and for him, as someone as sociable as he is optimistic, this interaction with living creatures is something as necessary as breathing; but it must be a positive interaction. He has already published several photo volumes.
