I was born in Galicia, northwestern Spain, in April 1977, and raised in Madrid and Mérida. With a degree in Art History, I began my career as an archaeologist, working across Spain and Portugal before transitioning to teaching Geography, History, and Art. My love for art, aesthetics, narrative, and music has been a constant throughout my life. Ten years ago, I rediscovered my interest in photography, and more recently, I found a passion for analogue photography. I enjoy experimenting with different cameras, lenses, formats, and film stocks. I've also learned to develop my own film at home, scanning and editing the images myself. Photography has inspired me to walk more, to travel, and to continuously teach myself new skills with patience and persistence. It encourages me to embrace mistakes, take risks, and find meaning in uncertainty. It has also given me a new sense of time—slowing down to get into "that mood" where hours spent wandering offer a fresh perspective on familiar surroundings. In many ways, photography has become a form of meditation for me. My work explores themes like "urban life," "time," "decay," and "emptiness," but also "care" and "love." I find joy in wandering aimlessly, seeking new ways to connect with and "own" the spaces I inhabit, whether in my hometown or elsewhere. This approach is influenced by the ideas of Guy Debord, particularly his concept of the dérive, moving beyond the traditional, commercial, and tourist-driven views of the city. I hope you enjoy the images you find here. — Enric
