My name is Anna Foix and I'm from Lleida, Spain. I am a computer engineer and devote myself to programming, photography, nature, and spirituality are my passions. I am currently engaged in professional photography.
I have always loved photography, but it was in 2017 that I began to become passionate about it. At first, I took photos of myself that I already liked, but I didn't know the technique well. I took them manually and kept trying until I found the result I wanted.
In April 2017, I went to a photography workshop. That was when I was motivated to learn everything I could about photography, so I could get the image I wanted without having to do many tests but knowing the camera settings well. Since then, I have trained from the beginning, through advanced and master's degrees, also taking specific courses. Several reports were published in the local press. I have won local and international photography competitions and held several exhibitions.
I studied photography in Catalonia with Spanish photographers.
I started with various landscapes in Spain, then studied beginner and advanced digital photography, ending with a master's degree in professional photography in 2017. She also took courses with Spanish photographers and workshops.
I would like to be able to collaborate with the awards I receive with my photographs for those who need them. For example, with this photo that won silver at the NY Photo Awards, I would like to win a prize with which I can collaborate with the Vicente Ferrer Association and help children like the one I show in my photo.
When they thank me for being able to see things they would never have noticed before, and when they tell me they would spend hours looking at one of my photos. Being able to show my particular vision inspires me a lot.
Thank you so much! For me, this distinction is a great honor and contribution to the launch of my professional career.
This work is part of a collection of photographs taken in India. Where we can observe the economic poverty that exists in this country, where you can find people and children sleeping in any corner, like this child sleeping in the middle of traffic on a highway.
I chose to participate in this project to be able to help children who are in a situation like the one in the photo with the money I could earn, and also to boost my career at a professional level.
Before you start taking photos, connect with yourself and your surroundings, and from that state begin to enjoy photography showing your personality, not wanting to look like someone else.
Be myself from my essence. Enjoy the present and the wonders that nature offers us.
