Landry Ajavon is a provocative and affectionate documenter of Barcelona life. Hailing from Toulouse, he made a name for himself as Miss Van's official photographer. He still works with the famous street artist on a regular basis, shooting her fashion lines and international trips. But his own projects are currently some of his most interesting.

The Based On A True Story series saw him taking a Dash Snow-esque view of Barcelona's nightlife, offering up simultaneously shocking and beautiful scenes of debauched nights out in the city. In 100 Trips, Landry takes us with him on journeys throughout Europe, Latin America and the US; the eclectic images find a common thread in humanity. His latest project is Boda 910: a fanzine documenting a Spanish Gypsy wedding. The images could only have been obtained by a trusted insider and confidante. Landry brings out the best in human spirits and shares this with us in his images.
