Valentí Canadell

Biography

Valentí Canadell Ribera worked as a photographer from 1950 until 1994 and Fotografia Canadell was one of the most famous photography shops in Tarragona from 1943 until 1995. Located in the same place that had previously housed Foto Pallejà and then Foto Millán, it became one of the city's main providers of photographic services. Although it specialised in documenting social events such as baptisms, first communions and weddings, its wide-ranging archive, showing the evolution of Tarragonese society as it developed and changed, demonstrates that it was much more than this.

Canadell's work provides a unique perspective on the life of the people of Tarragona and its neighbouring towns, as well as also showing the social and urban changes that took place during the second half of the 20th century.
