Andrés César

I am Spanish born in Almeria and live in the Canary Islands, I am 60 years old. For health reasons I had to stop working so, while I was recovering, I took walks on the beach and began “to see life differently and observe everything that was happening around me. First with my mobile phone and then with a small camera I immortalized those moments and it was my best therapy”.
Humour and irony are present in my images and the city’s carnivals are ideal because of the spontaneity of the people when they dress up and the situations you can see in different settings such as markets, bars, public transport, the beach…
I’ve been taking pictures for about 6 years now, my favourite place is the urban beach of the city, which I usually cover almost every day for more than three kilometres…” Over time, keeping that beach as the central axis of my work, I moved around different streets of the city and villages of the island to continue maturing as a photographer, since I’m self-taught. And the self-taught person learns by looking, walking and burning a lot of shutter”.
