Carmen Palma

“What came first, photography or cooking? Cooking.” For Carmen, the connection between these two disciplines is undeniable. The turning point in her career came when she decided to merge her passion for cooking with her interest in photography as an artistic expression. Originally from Jerez de la Frontera, her work reflects the influence of the light from her native land. Although she has been living in Barcelona for years, her connection to the south remains an essential part of her identity. She is recognized for her versatility and talent, working on a wide range of projects ranging from experimental and personal to editorial and commercial commissions for various companies, all focused on gastronomy. Vibrant colors and graphic compositions are distinctive features of her work, evoking visually appealing and contemporary scenes. Her approach stands out for her ability to create images that convey emotions and tell stories. Each image is the result of a careful process, where Carmen meticulously crafts the visual aspect and experiments with light. Her goal is to create photographs that highlight the beauty of the everyday and invite reflection on the world around us.
