PHOTO WORKSHOP IN IBIZA, JULY 17th-18th

Hi everybody! we are planning a new workshop in Ibiza the 17th and 18th of August. 

The participants will have to develop a free topic based on their experience in Ibiza. The result will be presented in 24 photographs that represent 24 hours, 24 special moments, 24 days, 24 experiences...

On the other hand, Mondo Gallery presents the exhibition “Ibicenco” –displayed at the same time in Atzaro Hotel. This show will serve as a starting point an inspiration for the participants. The main goal of the workshop would be to create a proposal for a photobook, that will be used to participate in THE 2016 PARIS PHOTO - APERTURE FOUNDATIONPHOTOBOOK AWARDS. Also, the photobooks will be exhibited in October in Madrid and then in further exhibitions internationally.

This workshop, held in the beautiful setting of the island of Ibiza, is primarily aimed to teach the mastery of light in landscape composition, portraiture and figure photography.

During the day sessions we will visit different locations to take advantage of natural light. At night we will use different elements like flash lights, color leds…etc to enhance your images.

Our photography workshop, will open up a world of new and wonderful visual experiences for you. Participants will learn to see the world through new visions. Using your camera along with the experienced tutors, Miguel Soler-Roig and Carlos Crespo, will allow you to explore your creative potential to the fullest.

Our aim is to provide engaging concepts and techniques on pleasant experiences, that work on your skills as a photographer while building appreciation and sensitivity for aspects like composition, light, colour or scenography.

INSTRUCTORS

Miguel Soler-Roig (Barcelona, 1961). In his multiple journeys through different countries, he has been in contact with different cultures, adding to his cosmopolitan and adventurous career a worldly knowledge and refined lifestyle, transmitting such qualities in all his works. 

As a student at the School of Art in Basel, Switzerland he cultivated a sharper vision towards life thanks to his continuous visits to museums, exhibitions, artist studios and fairs. Later on, during his higher education at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence (USA) and in his early career in New York, he enhanced his enthusiasm for the arts as an inner necessity. On his return to Spain he continues studies in photography, and completes an European Master on Fine Art Photography at IED Madrid, and several professional photography workshops organized by PhotoEspaña.

Today as an artist, photography is his main art feature, weaving in him natural instincts and deeper feelings. He lives the moments while taking photographs, but as he himself confirmes, sometimes portrays what he wants to live. On the other hand, he is very active in the circuits of contemporary art, workshops, conferences (Photoespaña, Arles, Fotofest), exhibitions coordination and cultural management.

Some of the most prominent spaces where he has shown his work are: RISD Museum of Art, Providence; American Institute of Graphic Arts, New York; Schule für Gestaltung, Basel; PhotoEspaña festival, Madrid; Museu Vida Rural, Tarragona; IVAM Museum, Valencia and Venice Arsenale.

Recent solo exhibitions and group shows include: Madrid Photo; Copenhagen Photo Festival; Antonio Saura Foundation, Cuenca; Lisbon Art Fair; Galeria Alejandro Sales, Barcelona; JustMad Art Fair, Madrid; ” Mutants Books” Casa Encendida, Madrid; Gallery Blanca Berlín, Madrid; Arte Laguna, Venice; ABSOLUT Portfolio’s Show, Photo España; PINTA, New York; Fotofest, Houston; Fotofever, Paris; Society for Photographic Education, Cleveland, Ohio; Lianzhou Foto Festival, China; Arts Libris, Barcelona and Photo London.

He has traveled extensively to Arizona, Utah, Mexico and other countries like Ethiopia, China and Morocco to complete his current photography projects.

Carlos Crespo

Crespo, born 1973 from Spanish descent, was educated in photography and classical music. Working after his formation primarily in the field of music, he gradually followed the path of visual arts working initially as an art-photographer solely for exhibitions.

Being well enough equipped to realize commercial works, he started to accomplish commissions from different fields such as reportage, portrait, architecture, industry, corporate, outdoor photography as well as realizing international campaigns for WWF, which he fulfills with great passion.

Crespo lives currently in Switzerland.
