Tell us more about yourself and how you got into photography.
My interest in photography came about as a result of visiting several exhibitions. One in particular that stood out was the World Press Photo in Valencia. I was inspired by how the professional photographers could tell a story with images, so I directed my studies towards this area. On my course I learnt all about analogue photography, and my curiosity and desire increased. Today, I am in a continuous process of development, and am studying a degree in Audiovisual Communication at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón, where I am preparing to take the final course.
How did it feel to win the 2019 Student Photographer of the Year at the Sony World Photo Awards?
It was a great surprise! When I entered my first series I never thought that I would win the contest. Just being among the ten finalists was a real honour. I already felt like I was a winner to be able to live that experience. As a result of the selection as a finalist I received some job offers, so for my career it has been a great leap. Now all that remains is to work hard and take advantage of everything that comes.
