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.

In this episode Judit shares her unique experience of combining her scientific career with her passion for minimalist photography.

Laura dives into her journey of rediscovering photography through experimental techniques, including Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and Multiple Exposure ICM.
