Barcelona Weddings: The Silent Witnesses

Keeping with the behind-the-scenes perspective of the previous post, weddings like this one in a renown Barcelona hotel are also worth witnessing as a complete outsider. I am sure this photograph will develop an interesting bouquet, a special patina, over time. The moment was captured at the entrance of El Palace Barcelona that used to be the old Ritz.

Commercial Shooting at Somorrostro Beach, Barcelona: behind-the-scenes perspective

If you go for the model, that sweet lady with the curly hair, you would probably get a striking portrait but nothing like the spark-of-the-moment circus on a set before a commercial shooting session, the chaotic behind-the-scenes perspective of a photographic mise-en-scène at Somorrostro beach in Barcelona.

This is definitely not a photograph by Martin Parr and I must admit it wants to remind a Martin Parr but it is what it is after all, my humble intrusive, almost 'voyeuristic' picture of the day.

Rewards: Capturing the Best Barcelona Image

You know when you are going up the street, everyone looks up and you gotta stop and follow the crowd?

Well, it happened to me at Carrer del Bisbe, Barcelona. In fact, I knew what tourists had spotted up there, but I had to look anyway, because it is in our nature, to imitate others in such moments of curiosity.

They were all trying to find a nice gargoyle, in their quest for the best Barcelona image. The gargoyles in particular are part of the Palau de la Generalitat, near the archway connecting with Casa de los Canónigos.
