Review (PDF) Txema Salvans: Nice To Meet You (Spanish Edition)
Description: Nice to Meet You is a book of family photographs, except that sometimes, the people in them aren't family. Photographer Txema Salvans seeks to explain, through people's interaction, the quotidian in a culture and a way of being and living that is "Mediterranean"--direct, close, sincere. Nice to Meet You also references a form of work in which Salvans does not impose his presence, but is accepted by the system or the personages he wants to photograph. A brief text by journalist Guillem Martinez preceeds each group of rich black and white images, and provides a guide to understanding the following scene--through them readers are invited to delve into the family logic of families that have, perhaps, never happened.

A great collection of images. Txema captures his surroundings with a lot of humor and precision. Think of the styles of Garry Winogrand and Elliott Erwitt, some of my all time favorite photograhers. Printing is good.I do however have one small gripe with this book: there is just way too many images. Sure enough, the artists state clearly that the intention was to emulate a family photo album, but I can't help but feel that several images should be left out in order for the remaining images to shine more. Especially in some cases where there are several images from the same scene, some almost identical. This means that it becomes a bit tedious to sift through the images.
Un trabajo del fotógrafo español de excelente calidad en la impresión y la encuadernación, excelente cuerpo del libro, un precio asombroso. Lo recomiendo definitivamente.
