Over five days, Formentera Fotogràfica finds some 100 photographers revelling in the art of the image

foto 2021 ffCThe ninth Formentera Fotogràfica came to a close yesterday, capping what FF director Francesc Fàbregas described as “a five-day run that saw 100 participants enjoying photo-related talks, workshops and outdoor activities set against the incomparable backdrop of Formentera”.

On hand were celebrated professionals such as Sofía Moro, Txema Yeste, Lua Ribeira, Ana Esmith - Miss Beige, Nando Esteva, Luis Tato, Cristina de Middel, Jon Cazenave, Paco Gómez, Gloria Oyarzabal, Fernando Maquieira and Ferran Forné of the ARA newspaper.

Fàbregas gave a positive assessment of this year's gathering, noting that "yet again, Formentera Fotogràfica has opted for an eclectic programme with the aim of giving space to, promoting and highlighting the inherent richness of contemporary visual culture in Spain".

Consell de Formentera president and councillor of tourism Alejandra Ferrer celebrated the fact that Formentera, which she described as “the ideal setting for this type of event”, finds itself once again associated with photography. She also stressed that local government organises these events to attract visitors outside the high season.

The Consell de Formentera sponsors Formentera Fotogràfica — intimate hands-on and theory-based sessions conducted by big names in photography and contemporary visual culture that help shape a space for knowledge, reflection and collective creation. The function is aimed at professionals, students and adepts of images who wish to exchange experiences with actors from the world of photography in an ideal setting like that of Formentera.
