A New Chapter in Madrid

Spain has become my home, my inspiration, and my creative playground.

When I arrived in Madrid on January 16, 2023 — with seven suitcases, not knowing anyone, barely speaking Spanish, and no clear plan — I had no idea how much this country would change me.

After my first major project, One Year in Madrid — a daily photo diary shot entirely on my iPhone — I felt the need to slow down, to look deeper, to rediscover storytelling through light, patience, and presence. A New Chapter in Spain is my next step — a series of black‑and‑white analog photographs shot in 6×6 format with a Rolleicord camera and Ilford HP5+ film.

It’s a journey through people, places, and emotions — from Madrid’s streets to Spain’s hidden corners — capturing the essence of what makes this country so human, vibrant, and alive.

Why Analog Photography

Film photography teaches you to wait. Each frame demands intention: the right light, the right moment, the right heartbeat.

There’s no rush — only focus, feeling, and trust. With the Rolleicord’s square format and top‑down viewfinder, every image becomes intimate and personal, like a quiet dialogue between the photographer and the world.

This is not just documentation — it’s a way to listen to Spain through images.

The Vision

My dream is to tell stories — not just through photos, but through people.

Each portrait will be accompanied by a short interview or reflection, giving voice to those who live, create, and dream across Spain.

Through their stories, I want to reveal how this country shapes lives, emotions, and identities — including mine. A New Chapter will grow into a living archive of Spain — its faces, its rhythm, its charisma, and its heart.

How You Can Help

To make this project possible, I’m raising funds to cover the essentials:

Your contribution helps me bring this vision to life — one photo, one story, one chapter at a time.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps keep film and storytelling alive.

This project is more than photography.

It’s about memory, art, and connection — and about celebrating Spain as it is today, through the eyes of those who live it.

Thank you for being part of this story.
