Ricard Duran’s photographic oeuvre – one of the least known in Catalan photography – was mainly created in the 1950s and 1960s, taking a modern and personal view of the society of which he was a contemporary. Most of his portraits are compositions whereby the person (or a trace them) interacts with their surroundings, always from a distant position and precisely framed. He was a member of the Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya and a co-founder of the Càmera Club Sabadell. In 1960 he was gained the prestigious recognition as Artist of the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP).
