The images of Josep Echaburu break away from the stereotypes we are accustomed to and that, in most occasions, we have made part of our lives and convictions. Those stereotypes show us a reality where the most extreme cruelty does not manage to move us. We live invaded by terrible images of war, hunger and desperation, and our faces do not flinch in front of them, not even a miserable grimace transmits what our souls should be feeling. Life offers us other faces, which from objectivity and daily life can surprise and move us. This is the great challenge of Josep Echaburu's photography. In all his projects he gives us a little bit of the everyday life we all have in us, and where our neighbor from 3B is the leading actress. Josep Echaburu lives in Barcelona. He has shown his work in different cities of Spain like Zaragoza, Alicante and Gij_n, as well as in his birthplace, Barcelona, where it is worth to highlight the exhibits in the galleries of "Can Bast", "Pati Llimona", "Convent de Sant Agust” and "Casa Golferichs-Centre Catal Roca". Besides his personal projects, he works as a photographer for TVE Catalunya.    www.subgrup.com      www.flickr.com/photos/josepechaburu

Elaine Vallet. I grew up in Bordeaux, surrounded by various art forms. After living some years in England I established myself in Paris, where I teach and have finally found the time to enjoy my passion for photography, focused on man’s isolation inside the environment he has created himself, or simply capturing moments to remember. I mostly take black and white photographs because of their timeless simplicity and their graphic quality that leaves more space for textures. Lights, lines and curves… and imagination! Taking photographs is a way of communication. At this moment I participate in a project called “around the world” , a collective work of street photography around the world.    http://vimeo.com/5239642

Guillermo Labarca. I come to photography from philosophy and painting. Since my student years I lived and worked in several countries from Europe and Iberoamerica. I boast to have survived three coup d'etat, the abdication of a queen and enjoyed the fall of a dictator (I would like to have seen more of this). I use photography to reveal my surroundings in an intuitive way and as a complement to deduction in order to find a truth for myself."    www.photo.net/glabarca
