A course by Paloma Rincón
Paloma Rincón (Mexico City, 1978) is a photographer based in Madrid who works internationally on a wide spectrum of projects: from commercial campaigns for major brands to more experimental images and personal work.

She merges different languages through a meticulous process where the elements are composed outside of their usual context, redefining their meaning.
With a very graphic style, she works with composition and color in a dynamic and optimistic way, combining a precise use of the technique and the creativity of an artisan.
Some of her clients: IKEA, Sonos, Samsung, Oreo, Playstation, Powerade, Kleenex, Vodafone, Toyota, Schweppes, Swatch, Yoigo, Renfe, Ono, Estrella Damm, Voll Damm, Aquarius, Architectural Digest, Universal Music, DCODE Festival, Serial Cut, and agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi LA, JWT NY, TBWA, 72 & Sunny LA, Ogilvy Madrid, Leo Burnett Budapest, Herezie Paris, Publicis, Sra.
