Anna Turbau

Anna Turbau (27 March 1949 – 19 March 2025) was a Spanish photojournalist associated with the counterculture and realist photography, who also worked on documentary projects. Her photographic work in Galicia between 1975 and 1979 is particularly significant, generating great interest in the Spanish art scene. Some of her photographs have been acquired by prestigious institutions such as the Reina Sofía National Art Museum. Her photographic style, often using black and white with symbolic intent and wide-angle lenses to achieve highly expressionist optical effects, has been linked to other photojournalists such as Pilar Aymerich and Manel Armengol. Among her influences, Turbau highlighted photographers such as Cristina García Rodero, Koldo Chamorro, Robert Doisneau, and Robert Frank.
