Anna Devís on Hasselblad Heroine, Architecture, and Photography
Anna Devís, a photographer and half of the creative duo with Daniel Rueda, discusses her journey from architecture school at the Polytechnic University of Valencia to becoming a Hasselblad Heroine. She emphasizes that their work is about capturing ideas, not just architecture, using scale, geometry, and minimalism to tell playful stories. Devís notes that the Hasselblad X1D has been a game-changer, allowing them to share the realism and texture of their hand-made props and available-light street photography. She reflects on the lack of female photography references in her youth and the importance of initiatives like Hasselblad Heroines for future generations. Upcoming projects include a new website launching in September, their first photography book, and conferences worldwide. The duo creates images from simple concepts like 'music' or 'love' and believes creativity and planning are key.
