Photography, since its invention, has changed our lives in every way, what we know, how we represent ourselves, what we discover and document.
Colps de llum can be freely visited on Carrer Sant Pere in the town of Catarroja, Valencia. It is a family album of the les Barraques neighborhood, telling the story of its people, its festivals, its streets and transformations — an album created photo by photo by Paco Costa.

Some parents understand that teaching visual culture and photographic expression is important for their children’s present and future.
In this image-driven culture, it is no surprise to find tweens and teens with Instagram accounts filled with hundreds of images and thousands of followers.

A photograph is where the interests and desires of the viewer intersect, and these are just as important for the person taking the photo as they are for the viewer. Sometimes, the message aligns, and sometimes, it does not. That is why photography, rich in meaning for both the photographer and the viewer, is always an OPPORTUNITY.
If your worst fear took a human form, what would it look like? Working with fear through photography is a creative task.
