Valentina Castro
Photographer
I was born in October 1985 in the crazy city of Caracas in the beautiful Venezuela. In 2007 I felt I needed a change in my life so moved to Barcelona to study liberal arts and photography. This was the time when I felt in love with the magic of analogue photography and since then my cameras had become a part of me. I try to use photography as a ticket to go back to places and moments and to capture what cant be said by words. I am always chasing the light and get inspiration from my everyday life. I believe beauty comes from within simple things.
