ABOUT

Born in Ibiza in 1977, José Castellar Carayol grew up looking at light, at beauty, at the people around him. He trained on film between Ibiza, Barcelona and Paris, and shoots on instinct, at night, in fashion, in black and white, with the people who pass through his life.


He looks back at the lighting of 1930s Hollywood, and at the line between what's real and what's staged. His photographs are about identity, freedom, and how bodies actually look, shot close-up, almost like film stills.


After years among the established figures of Parisian photography and fashion, he now works on his own pictures. Each one is for the body in all its forms, and for desire.
