PHOTOGRAPHER
Tomeu Coll
The Spanish documentary photographer (born 1981) works on a freelance basis. His work has been published in a range of international magazines such as Stern, GUP Magazine, La Vanguardia and L’illustré. He was selected Emergent Photographer by Smithsonian Magazine for his series Badlands, an ongoing project on his native island of Majorca. “For me, photography is a means for escape,” says Coll. “But at the same time it is what keeps me connected to everything around me.”
