Marta Vidal is a visual artist, born and raised in Barcelona.
When Marta was 13 years old, her dad showed her the inside of a camera, and that first innocent contact remained in her retina until today. A few years ago she studied Audiovisual Communication, and she found photography to be a basic but revealing discipline for her.
Since then, Marta has been a full time freelance photographer. For that, she thanks her dad.
How would you describe your photography to someone who has never seen it?
Solitary spaces, organic tones, and a little hint of poetry. At least that’s what I’m attempting to capture.
It’s something that you cannot describe. You don’t know what it is but it makes everything. Call it magic.
I believe that I look for simplicity in the things I photograph. I am inspired by geometry, wide spaces, and a soft palette of colors.
Being photographers, we have the opportunity to show our work and discover others in many more platforms than before. This is a good thing but we must use it carefully, otherwise it’s easy to get overwhelmed with so much information. I started shooting with film. For me it’s important to maintain the analog practice because of the slow pace that it requires.
I’ve heard about it but I have so little information that I don’t have a solid opinion on the subject. But it’s a positive thing if it can help to engage with clients and make us grow.
