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, dof the "Federación Española de Arte Fotográfico", of the Féderation Internationale de l'Art Photographique (FIAP) and the Photographic Society of America. In 1960 he was gained the prestigious recognition as Artist of the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP).
