A warm evening on the beach of the Spanish seaside town of Calella De Palafrugell. A group of teenage girls are having fun on the sand. And they honestly thought at that time that it would always be like this. Friendship, youth, summer.

Ricardas Jarmalavicius is an internationally acclaimed amateur photographer from Lithuania, famous for his vulnerable black-and-white photos, mostly taken with his iPhone. A good photo is not an image but a mirror, says Ricardas. In this mirror, people see their stories, feelings, memories, fears, and expectations. Ricardas’ unique point of view on life is shaped by his childhood in an orphanage, prison guard experience, long-term work in journalism and public relations, books, and a colorful personal life. Ricardas has received more than 120 international photography awards.
