He worked with πΉ Placebo πΉ on a shooting in 2004 for the MTV Magazine.
He definitely does his work on his own way, different to other photographers as we can see on each of his pictures!
π¨βπ€He started in the 80s with pop stars shootings, album covers and concert posters.
A lots of fashion and movie stars π¬ wanted him because of his eccentric and unusual way of working, using a fancy way in creating the scenographic elements and fantasy accessories to give live to creatures out of our world.
We can see his work on uncountables numbers of π° magazines covers, not only Spanishs like El Mundo and El PaΓs EspaΓ±a, Neo2 Magazine, Rolling Stone (EspaΓ±a) or MetrΓ³polis, he also worked for magazine outside of Spain like Vogue France, Corriere della Sera Italy, JAM Rusia, Art in America U.S.A. or π Vanity Fair.
In Spain musicians and movie stars like: Miguel BosΓ©, Tino Casal π©βπ€ Alaska (Alaska y Mario / FANGORIA) (*friend with Stefan Olsdal), Marta SΓ‘nchez or actresses like Rossy de Palma or Carmen Maura, in the 80/90.
Nowadays, famous young Spanish actors, like Miguel Angel Silvestre, Paco LeΓ³n, Sergio Peris-Mencheta Oficial or Juan Jose Ballesta wanted him for a shooting.
Outside of Spain we can find people from television, actors, singers and bands like PLACEBO. πΈ
He also had fun working with Robbie Williams π§βπ€ Duran Duran, Spice Girls, RuPaul, Dita Von Teese, Gloria Gaynor or Boy George & Culture Club, fashion designers 𧡠like Jean Paul Gaultier and the late David DelfΓn.
