Xavi Bou lives in Barcelona where he grew up and studied photography throughout his whole life. He graduated from the University of Barcelona with a degree in Geology in 2003. Later, he followed his passion for photography and in 2004, studied photography at Grisart International School of Photography. He worked in photography for advertisements and the fashion industry between then and 2012.
Xavi wanted to peruse his love of the natural world and began focusing on Ornitographies - bird flight pictures. He has since been published in National Geographic, Sonntag, The Guardian, and many more. “My intention is to capture the beauty of the bird’s flight in a single moment, making the invisible visible. Ornitographies moves away from the purely scientific practice of Chronophotography that 19th century photographers Eadward Muybridge and Étienne Julies Marey developed. It is the balance between art and science, a project of naturalist discovery, and, at the same time, an exercise of visual poetry.”
