Her passion for photography, which started as a personal project, has eventually led her to work for brands such as Offset Collage, Bryan Stepwise, Eastpark... and now that you know a little more... shall we grab an umbrella and delve deeper into the beauty of the storm?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Tell us about yourself and your work. Where did your vocation begin? Any first memories?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My name is Bea, although many people know me better as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beatriztormenta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beatriz Tormenta<\/a>. I've been working as a photographer since 2015, creating content for social networks and websites for brands of all kinds, although I'm actually a sociologist by training. It all started when I was 17, and it was really thanks to an OCD - that of seeing everything in order and chromatically harmonious - that led me to pick up a camera and immortalise everything non-stop, rather than as a vocation in itself. The visual order, the harmony of colours and the beauty of natural light led me, after many years, to become a photographer and make a living from it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta2.png\" alt=\"Beatriz Tormenta: beauty behind the camera | Monapart \" class=\"wp-image-1292\" title=\"interview_monapart_beatriz_tormenta2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta2-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2. What do you find most satisfying about your work, and any that you are particularly proud of?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>What satisfies me most about my work is that it is so varied, so stimulating and that it always ends up taking me to new creative places I hadn't explored before. Living from your creativity is hard, let's not fool ourselves, and for me it's a bit like surfing a constant wave in which you live with super lucid moments, creative crises and moments in which nothing happens. But you always get something good and positive out of it. I always feel that I learn something I didn't know every time I face a new job or a new client and it's very satisfying to see that everything you've picked up has been sown by you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3. What is your creative process like? What are your sources of inspiration? Any particular music while working?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>My creative process is quite variable in general depending on the project and on my moment in life and, although I am methodical at the moment of execution and follow certain steps, I also let myself flow depending on what evokes what I have to photograph. I am very inspired by cinema and the work of other artists, but what helps me most to stimulate my creativity is travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>4. Favourite colour, book, film and record - in that order! \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Colour: Pastel pink. Always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last book that I liked very much (I can't choose just one favourite): <em>Old Voice<\/em> by Elvira Victoria<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Favourite album of late: <em>Being funny in a foreing language<\/em> by The 1975<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Being Funny In A Foreign Language\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6dVCpQ7oGJD1oYs2fv1t5M?si=3At3DNKaTguiFmYi_vrBXw&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>5. Is your home a reflection of who you are? Tell us what it smells like, your favourite corner, your favourite decorative object or piece of furniture, if you treasure a collection... And if you have a pet, introduce it to us!<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>What most people who come to my house tell me is: It's very you. So I guess it is: I feel very much reflected in it and I think it says a lot about who I am \ud83d\ude42&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite corner I would say is my living room, with my paintings, my plants and my favourite things. I'm lucky enough to have a glass wall and I like to sit on the sofa and enjoy the view of my little kingdom while I work, read or watch a movie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among my favourite decorative objects is a leopard mask from Ecuador that was given to me as a gift and my paintings by Juan Feo, Clara Cebr\u00edan and <a href=\"\/magazine\/en\/node\/4196\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alejandra Marroqu\u00edn<\/a>. Every day I like buying art more and more, and the thought that these are things that will be with me for the rest of my life makes me happy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta4.png\" alt=\"Beatriz Tormenta: beauty behind the camera | Monapart \" class=\"wp-image-1293\" title=\"interview_monapart_beatriz_storm4\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta4.png 600w, https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta4-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As for smells, my house always smells of jasmine and I am lucky enough to share it with my kitty Mecha, who is one and a half years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta3_0.png\" alt=\"Beatriz Tormenta: beauty behind the camera | Monapart \" class=\"wp-image-1294\" title=\"interview_monapart_beatriz_tormenta3\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta3_0.png 600w, https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/entrevista_monapart_beatriz_tormenta3_0-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>6.

What is your favourite place in your city and abroad?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that I am in love with Madrid in general. It's hard for me to choose just one favourite place, but if I have to say one, lately I spend a lot of time in Chamber\u00ed and Chueca and they are clearly my favourite neighbourhoods in Madrid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for abroad, I go to Amsterdam very often and it is, after Madrid, my favourite city without a doubt. In particular, I love getting lost in the De Pijp district and strolling through its little streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harmony, pastel colours, art and beauty, that's how we could describe Beatriz Tormenta.
