Daniel Duart. Photographer
Born in Valencia, Spain, in 1975.
I studied a degree in English Language and did a Master in Translation. Meanwhile, in 1996, I started as a documentary photographer, that was when I went to Moscow to work as a translator and learn Russian. There, I started taking pictures of the city and began my fondness for photography. After a few years working freelance (1998-2003) I started to work as a photojournalist for local newspapers and european agencies in Eastern Spain (2003-Today). Since 2011 I’m getting into the fashion photography and its great tiny world. Surprisingly, the fashion world has led me to love portraiture and this year (2013) I’m returning to taking pictures with my medium format camera and black & white negative, let’s see where this takes me…
