In 1980, Montse Campins graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, USA. Upon her return to Barcelona, she mainly worked in advertising and fashion and specialized in portraits of people. She has worked for various advertising agencies in the world of fashion: in institutions, magazines and publishing houses. Her most recent work is in the field of author photography and reportage: the focus of her viewfinder revolves around themes of ambiguity, personal identity and landscape as being intrinsic and inherent to humankind.
Raimon Camprubí started experimenting with photography under the guidance of his father, who was a fantastic amateur photographer, and he later became a disciple of Francesc Català-Roca for almost ten years. In 1966, he set out on his own and, following in the footsteps of the master, began working for different publications of art, architecture, advertising and industrial design. Based on this work and numerous travels he embarked on, Camprubí published a collection of books on the cultural heritage and geographical characteristics of Spain. Notable among these are Montserrat and Ver Galicia, for which he was awarded the Premi Apel·les Mestres Prize from the Instituto del Libro Español in 1977 and 1982. Raimon Camprubí approached photography in the style of a photojournalist and thanks to his mastery of light, both in black and white and in colour photography, he has produced almost pictorial compositions of the social and historical context of our lands.
Her photography is based on the narrative tradition of Duane Michals, among others, and from a wide variety of pictorial trends such as the tenebrism of Caravaggio, the surrealism of Magritte and the Dutch school of painting, to give but a few examples. She is a versatile photographer drawn to many genres and formats: from still lifes to portraits, through to fables featuring animals, documentary photography and photography of architecture and interiors. Despite this diversity, her style is recognizable and is characterized by her desire to tell stories which often travel along that fine line that separates reality from fiction.
