Photographer David Perpinyà will present his first literary work, the novel Un panorama per a retratar, this Saturday, March 21st, in Sant Antoni de Calonge.

The event will take place at the Germandat Arturo Mundet at 7:30 PM. The author, originally from Palafrugell, combines fiction with personal experiences, using photography as the central theme of the narrative.
The story follows Dani, a young man learning that photography is more than just technical skills. Perpinyà argues that the photographer's unique perspective is more important than the quality of the equipment.

"The camera is only as good as the person behind it."

The author also addresses the rise of Artificial Intelligence, stating that the true value of a photograph lies in the human story and the moments lived before the shutter is pressed.
