Joan Corominas joined the Westend61 community in 2020 and has delivered stunning stock photography ever since. He loves photography and everything revolving around blend mode and shutter speed. His images often show strong characters and bright colors. We decided to pay him a digital visit and ask him about his work and inspirations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hola Joan! Thank you for doing this Interview. To warm up \u2013 when did you know you are a photographer, and what made you realize it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Westend61, thank you for inviting me to this Interview. Honestly, I don\u2019t consider myself a photographer. I have always liked photography, and in 2011, I had to learn how to use a DSLR camera for work reasons. From that moment, I started to play with the parameters in manual mode, and in a few months, I began to study photography and composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You say you don\u2019t consider yourself a photographer. Can you explain that further for us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course! Before entering Westend61, I only took family and landscape photos. Once I knew how a camera worked and intended to take more and better images, I started to look into the commercial aspect of photography. When I applied to become a Westend61 photographer, I began thinking more in concepts and took photos of people outside my family. I had the advertising objective in mind whenever I was shooting and started integrating my editor\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that stock photography is not just about finding a model and taking some pictures. The preparation becomes crucial as you don\u2019t know where your image might end up. It could be a sustainable campaign or a car commercial. To produce a good stock photo, you need to come up with a good, suitable location, the according to wardrobe, and finally, of course, understand how a camera works to get the desired result. But the latter is only a tiny part of the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
