What do the architects say about me?

Josep Juanpere Miret

(Architect)

The conception of photography for Emilio Ferrer is not only an image of the building, but also captures the sensitivity of the space that the work generates.

At first glance, his images are dominated by light, but it is through light that he manages to show us the fluidity of planes that space contains.

The time, the brightness of the day, the orientation and the framing are essential to obtain the result of your photographs. Light, as a fluid that penetrates, allows us not only to show us the opaque, the transparent and the translucent, but through the play of shadows it generates, it allows us to obtain a fluidity of planes with different intensities from the image. This sensitivity that Emilio has, gives the photographed work a much deeper vision.

Emilio has the ability to understand a work, with his gaze that easily finds the forces of the buildings.

His second point is his sensitivity to find the lights that the works generate.

In the first contact with Emilio we understood that he was the right person, he seemed to have a special connection with what we were trying to convey.

The results have been surprising. It has been able to reflect our work and creation, perfectly capturing our personality.

Emilio, before a work of art or architecture, poses a deep reflection and manages to reinterpret basic concepts of composition with an absolute mastery of the third dimension.
Taking a tour with it in a sequence of spaces enriches its creator in the same way that an experienced reader reinterprets a literary work, in dialogue with its author.
It makes you rethink original ideas, forgotten during the construction work or indicates points of view of space, that even you had not considered. I would say that he is a great interpreter of an instrument, which he masters perfectly, which is his camera. The coherence in the sequence and rhythm of images in their spatial interpretations, recreate a visual harmony, that to recognize it, it is necessary to observe the original work of art with your eyes, your work is a work of art that becomes independent of the object original, recreating it in a magical, new and different reality. From this, a kaleidoscope of mirror images is created that places us in a different and optimized reality.
Emilio, I think you are the best!

The hallmark of Ferrer’s work is his skillful analytical eye that seeks the essence of architectural form and its plasticity. Loud and clear, he manages to find subtleties and nuances in his materials and brings them to light. The compositional clarity of the photographs is a consequence of solving the visual puzzle, capturing the spirit of it with confidence and speed.

Capable of capturing the right and precise light at every moment, Emilio Ferrer is the photographer who knows how to enhance and reinterpret architectural work in its full magnitude.
The clarity of his images has a lot to do with the cleanliness of the Empordà landscape, swept away by the north wind, and the composition of his images is always proportionate and precise.
All this is the result of his special sensitivity to mix through his shutter, the chiaroscuros that architecture always gives us.

When it comes to art and architecture photographers, the Spanish photographer Emilio Ferrer, who lives in Lérida, is one of the best in the world. His work is frequently published in the most prestigious and well-known publications in Spain, Italy, Germany and beyond.

Emilio’s beautiful series of architectural photographs is something to see. Sleek lines, beautiful colors and impressive angles dominate Ferrer’s architectural work. As a self-taught and self-proclaimed perfectionist, Emilio Ferrer specializes in Architecture and Interior Design.

His photographic oeuvre also includes a series of fantastical landscapes and abstract photographs, all true to Ferrer’s recognizable style. Emilio’s work represents the highest range of fine art photography and is perfect for interior projects, offices and corporate environments.

I have known Emilio Ferrer for a long time. Since then I have had the opportunity to enjoy some reports that he has made of my work, and many conversations that we have had the opportunity to have.

I have always valued his work, the intensity with which he develops it, his precision in choosing the day and the moment. He is very knowledgeable about our landscape, its light, its relationship with the season of the year. You have to think that a good part of his life has been dedicated to the field and its cultivation.

His work is not that of a passing tourist, Emilio lives near Lleida, in Tornabous, and he understands and makes us understand with his photos, the path of the sun, its orientation, our changing landscape, its color and ultimately with his photography introduces us to a changing atmosphere, throughout the seasons of the year. He enjoys photographing the instruments of field farming, harvesters, tractors, as large sculptures in a monumental way like Calder’s Stabile, appear as large sculptures in movement, in the landscape. The slender trees like Giacometti figures, naked or populated, silent or shaken by the wind, or the bales of alfalfa that rest on the land once it has been cut. His inspiration is close, like the painter Hernández Pijuán who found in his landscape of La Segarra,

In my case, various works dedicated to my work as an architect, have allowed his photographs to become a very close and correlative look, his different points of view, his perspectives, the constructive detail, materials, his textures, they are discovering a new vision, which in itself is difficult to appreciate.

I would like to highlight among the moments of the day in which Emilio works, the one dedicated to the sunset, I think this is where he enjoys the most, a short time that passes from day to night, a precise moment that must be sought and prepared to leave it immortalized, so his photographs find just that time.
