Ep 180 - Chicago in Colour with Judit Prat Marti

Judit Prat Martí has always loved taking pictures. Originally from outside Barcelona, Judit started taking classes at Richard Stromberg’s Chicago Photography Classes school while a Postdoctoral fellow at the Astronomy and Astrophysics department at the University of Chicago. Judit loves how photography encouraged her to explore her new home of Chicago, exploring and getting to know the city and its various neighbourhoods. Many Sundays, she would take her bike and her camera, and choose a neighbourhood to explore, photographing everything that would catch her eye. Judit’s studies have since taken her to Stockholm, where she is looking forward to exploring a new city and continuing to capture the magic with her camera.

 

In this episode Judit shares her unique experience of combining her scientific career with her passion for minimalist photography. Judit talks about her journey from casual photography to publishing her book 'Chicago in Color.' She discusses how she navigates the diverse neighbourhoods of Chicago, her motivation for capturing the city's essence, and her creative process. Judit also provides insights into her editing techniques and her collaboration with Trope Publishing for the book's release. Additionally, she reflects on the role of photography in society and her future plans.

 

I hope you enjoy the show!
