I am a photographer and currently a student of a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. I am interested in the origin of time, gravity, the creation and destiny of the universe, and the deep feelings of human beings. I try to deal with social, geopolitical, and environmental issues in my photography. I also love geography, history, and philosophy, and I like to analyze maps and graphics. Most of my projects are focused on Russia, and my homeland, Galicia.

My work has been published by National Geographic, Geo, Stern, Vanity Fair, Sunday Times, Der Spiegel, L'Espresso, D-Repubblica, The British Journal of Photography, Paris Match or De Volkskrant, it has been exhibited at Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg, at Photoespaña in the Real Jardín Botánico or the Canal Isabel II in Madrid and it has been recognized by different accolades, such as the Pictures of the Year International, the Sony Awards, the Zeke Awards, the Moscow International Photo Awards, PH Museum, Premio Galicia de Fotografía Contemporánea, PX3, or Estacao Imagem Mora. I have taken several masterclasses with photographers and photo editors such as Donovan Wylie, Jonas Bendisksen, Alex Webb, Sarah Leen, and Magdalena Herrera. I have also participated in the Eddie Adams Workshop and the New York Times portfolio review.

In 2020, I suffered a back injury that severely limited my life. Since then, I have changed my perspective as a photographer. I started Beyond The Lake, a project about Galicia, in which I try to investigate, from a metaphorical point of view, the atmosphere and problems of my land: nostalgia, abandonment, social rejection, exclusion, and dualisms such as oppression-domination.

For The Shining Land series, I traveled for four months in four different years (2017-2020) to remote areas of the Russian Far East. Throughout these trips, I photographed the life of towns that are distinguished by isolation and extreme weather conditions. The series World's Place Apart is a project about a hippie community self-excluded from society. I started it in 2005 and I'm currently still working on it. For me, what once began as a story about the place itself and the people who lived there, has become a study of my evolution as a photographer.

For more than ten years I have combined these and other projects with my work for photo news agencies. During this time I have covered the tragedy in the Lampedusa Sea, the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, the refugee exodus from the Middle East, and the Costa Concordia disaster. I also covered spot news, current affairs, and sports reporting, made editorial portraits, and touched on different areas of photography. All these photo reports have been published in various media around the world.

In my free time, I like to read (especially Russian and Eastern literature) and make abstract oil paintings. Furthermore, I am a lover of the Tarkovsky universe and a fan of the progressive metal band Tool.
