Óscar Fernández Orengo

fotographer (San Sebastian, 1973)

 

Óscar moved to Barcelona with his family as a child, and he lives there now. Before taking an interest in photography, he studied cinema in Madrid. He later returned to Barcelona to study photography at the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya. Soon afterwards, he opened his first photographic studio, Ojo x Ojo, which was primarily devoted to advertising.

 

Attracted by a more personal and artistic photography, he began a series of projects related to the film world (A través de mis ojos, La escena cotidiana, the portraits for the book of interviews La piel y la máscara, by Lola Mayo...), and some of these have been exhibited in cities like Manila, Berlin, Santiago (Chile), and Buenos Aires.

 

His current projects include an exhibition of Philippine filmmakers called Ekscena and another about the making of several films.
