Masana opened his studio in Granollers in 1914 and the one in Barcelona in 1921.His main activity was to focus on commissioned photography, essentially portraits, a genre for which he was considered to be one of the grand masters of his time.  From the pictorial beginnings, he has left us with excellent testimonies.  The Art of Light and Photographic Art published some of his works.  Nevertheless, the most innovative facet of his work was advertising photography, in which he boldly combined the type, photomontage, played with light and shadow or the sensation of movement, which was appreciable in this work.
