Anna Bosch Miralpeix

I was born in Sant Esteve de Palautordera in August 1982. I live in Barcelona and I am the co- founder of the CFD Barcelona, Center For Media and Documentary Photography. In my projects as a documentary photographer I try to capture the atmosphere that explains a specific social situation . Rather than seeking the immediate impact of a detail , I prefer to work with the addition of organic images that, together, reveal the complexity of factors at play, appealing to both consciousness and unconsciouness of the viewer. I attended the Institut d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya (2002-2006) and extended my studies with a workshop at the ICP Barcelona (2008). Anna Bosch Miralpeix

I have worked as a teacher and have led participatory photography and curatorial projects. My work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, and has been published in national and international media.

My last project Bubble Beirut was selected for the 20th edition of Beca Fotopres a prestigious grant given for La Fundació La Caixa.
