Angel Alvarez

Madrid, 1959. I studied Industrial Engineering in Bilbao.
I belong to the generation of photographers born in the advertising perfectionism era of the 80’s and in the surfing community of the Basque Country beaches.
During my career I have received a wide range of national and international prizes including ‘The Main Prize for Graphics in Cannes’, with an advertising piece for PlayStation.

My career in advertising photography has seen me work with many of the top agencies both in Spain and abroad (including; McCann Erickson, JWT, Contrapunto, DDB, Bassat, Lola, TBWA, Shackleton,…) working on large scale advertising campaigns for, Calle 13, Repsol, Vodafone, Telefonica, Twix, Cutty Shark, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Kia Motors, Smart, Mitsubish, Kellogs, Playstation and Timotei, among others.

I also collaborate with many publishing editorials, such as El País, Rolling Stone, Joyce, FHM etc.

I work with large format and digital cameras and specialize in digital retouching. Currently I am conducting research in the field of creative photography and digital post-production.
