I’m Barbara Ghidini, an artist, photographer, and artisan filmmaker based in Barcelona.
I travel with my cameras and portable darkroom, carrying traditional photographic techniques and a vision that merges art, alchemy, and human encounter.
Itinerant Pics was born from my deep love for photography, from the desire to understand it in its purest form and create images with my own hands.
It began with a simple wish: to learn how to develop my own film, to see the invisible come to life in the darkroom.
Then came a decisive encounter — with the master who guided me into the world of ancient photographic techniques, where chemistry and light become poetry.
Together we explored forgotten processes, learning how time, metal, and sensitivity could shape an image beyond perfection.
From there, the path revealed itself naturally: to revive the ancient craft of the itinerant photographer, to bring this analog magic back to the streets, the squares, the festivals — to share the wonder of watching a photograph appear before your eyes.
And one day, I met her — the small wooden box camera that would become my companion: my “cámara minutera.”
A magical instrument, half camara and half darkroom, through which the world reveals itself slowly, beautifully, and truthfully.
That’s how Itinerant Pics was born — from curiosity, from craftsmanship, and from a desire to let people feel the magic of the photographic act once more.
