“Reality is the obligatory raw material we photographers work with. I use it as I see fit, and reinterpret it without any boundaries. I do not owe it faithfulness, I am not a photo-journalist or a notary.

I believe in the narrative function, more literary than pictorial, of photographic language. Writing with images is a way of reinventing. And, above all, it is a way of living, of surviving, and it even lets you be reborn…”.

From these principles, and helped by carefully selected photos taken during his years of travels, assignments and personal projects, Pedro Coll tells us about his personal manner of visualizing and how he searches for images that can be better read than contemplated.
