He started working with photography as a young man in France, the country of his birth to parents who were Spanish exiles. During his youth he produced reports for the French newspaper L’Humanité and he worked in Canada and the USA, where he came into contact with great photographers such as Paul Strand and Irving Penn. In 1977 he met Joan Miró, which had a great effect on his interest in photography. As a result of this, he dedicated himself to photographing the workshops and creative processes of artists from around the world, as well as collaborating with many international publications.
