About me
I am Cosme, an amateur photographer based in Barcelona. I have been shooting since my teens, but for the past 25 years, I have pursued photography with a deeper intensity, trying to refine my eye and my craft.
My passion is street photography -finding beauty in reflections, architecture, and the everyday moments that most people walk past. This site is my visual diary.
While I am drawn to the streets, I also love nature, portraits, travel photography, and almost everything that can be captured through a lens. It is rare that I leave home without a camera, whether it’s my Sony or my Leica.
I define myself as an amateur photographer, but
What does it mean to be an "amateur" photographer?
For me, photography is a way to see the world through different eyes; it exercises the ability to observe and helps me notice details that previously went unseen. It is a form of artistic expression that encourages the imagination to compose unique images. When I carry a camera, I see people, textures, and situations that would otherwise be invisible on a normal walk. It makes me feel more "awake.”
Beyond the art, photography improves creativity and mental well-being, fostering a deeper appreciation for the world. I capture images and moments, and then they are mine forever.
To me, amateur photography is about the freedom to experiment. Without professional pressure, I can explore styles, techniques, and compositions purely for the sake of creativity and personal development.
I started this journey at 15 with a borrowed Voigtländer, wandering the streets of Barcelona. Decades later, I am still capturing those fleeting moments—the ones that, once photographed, belong to me forever.
I hope to keep doing it for the rest of my life.
