Ivan Margot is a Swiss-born photographer and graphic designer, now based in Barcelona. His photography captures the everyday moments of life in vibrant, colorful images. Margot brings a unique perspective to street photography, where he focuses on light, shadow, and composition to turn ordinary scenes into beautiful visual stories.
Margot’s approach to photography is inspired by the idea that the most important moments are often invisible to the eye. He believes that street photography should reveal what we might overlook in our fast-paced world. Through his lens, he invites us to slow down, observe, and find wonder in the small details around us.
Margot’s photographs celebrate the beauty of everyday life, so we asked the artist what he believes is often overlooked in the world around us and how he highlights it through his lens.
“The beauty of street photography is precisely finding those places that apparently don’t have much interest and turning them into a unique moment with a nice light or a special frame.”
With the rise of smartphone photography and social media, we asked Margot how he sees the future of street photography evolving in this digital age. The photographer doesn’t have a problem with it. “You can perfectly take a good photo with a smartphone. I value the whole of a work more than a single photo.”
When we asked Margot what he would want people to take away from his photographs, the artist responded, “The memory of beautiful light, colors that work well, and a good frame.”
