Francesc Català Roca

Francesc Català-Roca (Valls, 1922 - Barcelona, 1998) is considered one of the first Catalan photojournalists. 

His work has transcended because of the strangeness of his point of view (absolutely contemporary) and because it reflects on the time and is very aware of the power of image information.

Català-Roca considered himself as a professional photographer who tried to capture everyday reality, believing in short that he was more a documentalist than an artist. Nevertheless his work combines reality with beauty, thanks, among other things, to his natural ability to get in touch with the people he portrayed.
