Experience
Since I was a little boy I had extremely clear what I wanted to be when I grow up, I guess that the fact that my father and brother were photographers conditioned me somehow, I always had clear that I wanted to be a fireman.
So basically, as soon as I could I started to prepare myself to pass the exams and become a fireman. Sadly, the swimming tests drown my dream, which ended up being highly ironic as I was born and raised on an island, Mallorca.
Although the failure came across to my face as a bucket of cold water, it helped me to awaken my genetics and look backward to see and admire the three generations of my family dedicated to the world of light, composition and sensitivity, the universe of photography.
I started my formation first attending to seminars of still photography to shortly after enter to ESCAC (Barcelona, 2003), invited to attend with a selected project to the Berlinale Talent Campus (Berlin, 2009) and finalizing my studies by doing a Master in EICTV (San Antonio de los Baños, 2011).
Today I live and work between Barcelona, Mallorca and wherever you need me.
