jordivives
I am Jordi Vives i Batlle, 58 years of age, a Catalan born in Barcelona and living in Mol, Belgium. I am a physicist and amateur photographer. I love to experiment with unusual cameras and films, particularly former USSR cameras. I explore the small details of the world around me with the camera, to let my inner voice speak and as a means of healing.
I have organised my albums in this page according to subject, and I am presently focussing on a “visual poems” series containing photos taken with a very small camera, the Kiev 303. This camera is designed for 16 mm film, and although it is not a very advanced camera, it is by no means simple, being capable of full manual control. As film I use expired Agfa Copex Rapid 16 mm microfilm, which is capable of good results when developed in diluted 1:100 Rodinal for 20 minutes.
The result is a type of black and white photo combining high resolution, high contrast and slightly soft focussing, to which I add a touch of colour during post-processing so that it fits my philosophy of a “visual poem”: photographic statements on the topics of longing, healing, faith, the passage of time and the relationship between love and solitude; with trees, sand, rocks and water as the actors of a subtle play of the mind.
