• MANEL ARMENGOL
  Badalona, 1949
  

   

  Manel Armengol studied journalism at Barcelona. Since 1971 he was doing photojournalism independently so it is among the photographers who made photographic reports of social movements against Franco in his last years in office and are distributed overseas by CIS agency because in Spain there was censorship.

  However the photographs were widely publicized in the international media, they were taken in 1976 in a police charge in a peaceful demonstration in Barcelona that took place during the Spanish transition and for which it received the prize of photography of the magazine Flash-Foto.

  His work as a photojournalist continued doing different photoreports by the world until the early eighties had to leave the active photojournalism because of a accident.2 From that moment his photographic activity diversifies doing architectural photography and other own reports of photograph of the author, also dedicated to give conferences at universities.

  His work has been exhibited in Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, but also in cities of Venezuela and Japan. Among his publications can be noted: The jardí dels guerrers 1987 Voices of water, Memories of Winds Herbarium 2001 and 2007.
