"Badlands" on assignment for Volata magazine

Last May I had the pleasure to shoot my first story on assignment for Volata magazine.
Volata. VOLATA is a bimonthly magazine dedicated to cycling culture published since 2014 in Barcelona.

I worked in a personal vision of the territory of Barcelona, following the paths of the "Badlands" race: "the wildest gravel challenge in Europe".

The magazine gave me freedom to work in the areas of Cabo de Gata and the desert of Tabernas without actually photographing the race.

The story contains a vision of the territory from an environmental and cultural perspective.
