Boarding Pass
Travel memories in black and white, displayed in an XVIII century building. An exhibition that changed my life forever.
︎I have dived into my archives to rescue some pictures of a pivotal event in my life: my first solo exhibition.
In February 2014, I was invited to display my work in a very special space, the “Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Madrid”, an impressive building in the heart of the City, just a few meters from the Puerta del Sol.
The exhibition was named “Boarding Pass”, a reference to the starting point of every long trip. At that time, I aspired to follow the spirit of the photographers of the mid-20th century, travelling all over the world, and using my camera as an excuse to discover other cultures. Photography was the key to opening my mind by witnessing different realities.
On the opening day, I was surrounded by many friends and family who understood how important photography was becoming in my life. It was unforgettable.
Encouraged by the feelings I experienced, in that moment I secretly decided to change my life. I devoted more and more time to my photography, and a couple of years later, I left my career as an architect to become a professional photographer. A decision I never regret.
