Pau Buscató is a Barcelona-born photographer who has recently returned to his roots after an extended stay in Norway. Initially inspired by his father’s career, Buscató pursued architecture, but his true calling in photography soon became impossible to ignore. He eventually specialized in the realm of “candid creative photography,” often referred to as Street Photography.

Since embarking on this visual journey in 2010, Buscató has been committed to capturing life’s hidden narratives through his lens, exploring the spontaneous magic of the streets in cities such as London, Oslo, Barcelona, New York, and beyond.

His work, which aims to encapsulate the playful beauty of everyday moments, has earned him international recognition, exposure, and features in acclaimed photo festivals, books, and various publications.
For the past eight years, Buscató has also shared his passion through street photography workshops, with a teaching approach that mirrors his photographic style: intuitive, explorative, and deeply personal.

Buscató thrives on the idea of starting his day without a predefined plan, allowing the pulse of the city to guide his creative process. This philosophy of embracing the unexpected shapes his work, making each photograph a testament to the spontaneity of the moment. For him, the absence of a plan becomes the plan—a paradox he playfully acknowledges, preferring to leave conceptual debates to others while focusing on the primary experience of photographing and letting the images speak for themselves.

Pau Buscató demonstrates that the simplest subjects, when approached with curiosity and fresh eyes, can unfold into captivating stories. Marked by a distinct blend of spontaneity and intent, his work invites audiences to journey through the extraordinary moments hidden within everyday life.
