A FLOR D'AIGUA

A coming-of-age short film set in rural 1960s Catalonia, featuring two incredibly talented newcomers and a beautifully crafted set design inspired by the deep Catalan mountains. I joined the crew for a week-long shoot to take care of the on-set still photography.

The Approach

Given that the majority of the film was shot under natural light, my first challenge was to create a soft, gentle look while constantly fighting the harsh late spring sunlight. The use of deep greens and earth colors was largely inspired by Marta, the director, and the DOP’s artistic references, which were largely drawn from classic oil and watercolor paintings. This was reflected in my photographs to create an almost pictorial effect, making them part of the painted world created in the film.
