Descenso del Sella. Ribadesella, agosto, 1965
Juanes was born in Gijón in 1923, and after a brief stint in Madrid, in 1957 he had to move permanently back to his hometown, where he took portraits of his fellow Asturians, their everyday life, always in black and white in the quest for his own style in the reporting format, which he considered the best documentary way to record reality with emotion. In the early 1960s, he tried out colour with the mythical Kodachrome film, and it ended up being a real discovery for him. Colour brought another register with reflective, meditative, lyrical images, and he decided to work on different series on Asturias, each with its own theme.
