Since childhood, Xavi Bou has had a great interest in nature. Growing up in El Prat de Llobregat, on the outskirts of Barcelona, allowed him to go on countless walks with his grandfather, who was also a bird lover. This passion remained with him even after his studies of geography and photography, and during his time working in the fashion industry. 

In 2015 he started “Ornithographies”, his photographic project, as a result of his great admiration for birds and nature. These photographs capture in a single image the shapes that birds generate when they fly, making the invisible visible. 

From the outset, “Ornithographies” caught the attention of collectors and international publications, and since then his work has been published in National Geographic, The Guardian, Der Spiegel, Geo and Sonntag, among many others, and he has exhibited in Australia, Holland, the United States, Spain, Switzerland, France, Russia and Greece.
