On Tumblr Tuesdays we dig a little deeper, introducing you to a new person whose point-of-view we’re reblogging this week.Meet Javier Castán, a VICE creative and Catalan photographer who's currently based in Barcelona. "I work [at VICE] and take pictures while I am out of the office," Javier tells us. "And luckily, I love doing both things." We love the way Javier's pictures capture the beauty in his everyday, casual moments, so we got in touch with him to find out a little more about his shooting style and the background stories behind five of his favorite photos. How did you get started in photography? I started taking pictures with all the old 35mm cameras my grandfather left. I still keep them!
I never met him, but my mother always tells me that I inherited this from him. Then it naturally evolved from a hobby to something more "professional". What subjects are you most drawn to? I'm not drawn to subjects but moments. It depends on what I want to do, but mainly Contax G2 and Contax 645. I want to buy a Mamiya RZ67 soon! What feeling do you most try to convey with your photos? Does your photography style translate to your fashion at all? What is your personal clothing style like? I think that's one of the things needed about fashion photographers, their own perspective of this area. And what I aim to do with the fashion stories I shoot. As for my style, I usually wear basic clothes; I just need a white tee, some jeans and a pair of Vans and I'm the happiest guy. Can you tell us a few of your favorite Tumblrs to follow?
