I'm Xavi, a photographer, videographer and visual artist from Barcelona, based in Lisbon. The image for me is a way of expression alternative to words, directly connected to the evocative power of emotions, a poetic act. Looking through the viewfinder brings me back to the present state. Therefore, it is a great responsibility of expression and a duty to tell a story of report an event in a way that can be a motive for reflection, betting on critical thinking and human rights. Personally, a good video or photography must have the power to arouse interest and curiosity, that activates the imagination and generates a new connection, a parable with a secret message for the person who allows himself to be drawn into it. This is how society creativity increases allowing us to talk on a more conscious level about ourselves. It is, in itself, a magical act. --- **Employment and project experience** Freelancer event and documental photographer - LuzdCalle 2020-2023 Visual Facilitator and Conductor of the social project Del barrio al Barro - Barcelona's municipality 2022 - 2023, Barcelona Photographer and Videographer for social media - Barcelona's municipalities and public institutions 2022 - 2023, Barcelona Cocreator and project design of INPULSO Conscient photography and self-development 2023, Lisboa - Barcelona Videographer - Agua NGOs. 2021, Kenya Short Film Director - private client 2020, Norway…I'm Xavi, a photographer, videographer and visual artist from Barcelona, based in Lisbon.
