Request QuoteI am a Photographer and Filmmaker from l'Hospitalet de Llobregat. I perceive photography as a platform to express my personal way of viewing the world and conveying it through an emotional language. While I comprehend the necessity for radical social transformation, I do not hold the belief that my photography alone can effect change; it's simply my means of articulating the world. My initial foray into photojournalism was in 2014, where I worked as a photojournalist and coordinator for La Burxa, a self-organized newspaper centered around an occupied social space. I was also a member of the international photojournalist collective Krasnyi, with a focus on documenting social struggles across Europe. Over the course of three years, I collaborated with indigenous organizations and communities in the Amazon Rainforest, capturing the repercussions of oil spills and the petrol industry's impact on their environment and way of life. I extensively covered the Covid-19 crisis in Peru for various international agencies, including EFE and France Presse. Additionally, I have produced videos for the NGO Action Against Hunger and contributed as a cinematographer to several documentaries. My work involves documenting diverse social realities for various media outlets, with a strong emphasis on advocating for Human Rights. My photographs have been featured in prominent publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and El País, among others. Currently, I am engaged in a project focusing on the identity of the Mercheros. Historically conflated with the Roma due to their nomadic lifestyle, this ethnic group has faced significant persecution during the last two decades of the Franco regime. I also delve into my own roots by traversing the territories of my ancestors, creating imagery of rural and agrarian Spain. Through this, I aim to portray the life amidst demographic desertion that the peninsula has witnessed, while playing with a sort of personal Western-inspired imagery. - Finalist for best documentary photography project with Wikkaritama at the Menorca Doc Fest 2020. - Finalist in the "Premios Zampa" 2021 with White Flags in Valle del Sol. - Finalist of the "III Beca Joana Biarnés" 2022 with Desertores del "Arao".

From "quincalleros" to "quinquis" and from "quinquis" to "mercheros". This still unknown group claims its culture and defines itself as a differentiated ethnic group, rejecting the stigma of crime that was attributed to them in the last years of the Franco dictatorship.
Oeste" (West) is a journey to different areas of Spain related to my past: Salamanca, Teruel, Huesca, Zamora, Lleida... and an exploration on how the surroundings have changed since. Demographic desertification gave those areas the name of Empty Spain, and the lack of human activity paved the path for climate change to become obvious and irreversible, changing the landscapes of my childhood into deserts. Oeste es both an exploration of my memories and the changes I encounter, changes that are somehow familiar due to its similarities with the american western imaginary with whom it shares symbolism. The territory explored is linked to my roots, the stories told by my grandparents, my memories and a feeling of nostalgia, my time working in agriculture, just like my grandfather... In another sense, it's also a photographic research framed within a context and a determined aesthetic.
