Bio

  • Country: Spain

“My journey with photography began in 2009 when I received my first DSLR camera. At that time, I had very little knowledge about photography, so I taught myself the basics of technique and editing. I experimented with self-portraits and conceptual photography. Photography became my escape and a means of expression. After years of a hiatus, in 2020 during the pandemic, I embarked on the ‘Quarantine Project’ to reinvent my reality through daily photos. In addition to conceptual photography, I became hooked on street photography after the confinement. Taking my camera out into the streets is therapeutic and helps me appreciate the beauty in everyday small things. I aim to convey that everything can be beautiful if we change our perspective.”
