As an inveterate traveler, he spent two uninterrupted years in Asia, in addition to a month or more in Lebanon, Syria, Mexico, and Cuba, and two years living in the Balkans in the former Yugoslavia. It was during his travels that Jesús developed his photographic style.
Currently, he is a professor in a higher-level vocational training degree in Image and Sound. He has taught corporate communication workshops for Amnesty International and on travel photography, authorial photography, and digital retouching (especially Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw).
He has been published in national press (La Vanguardia, Público, Metro, Avui, Interviu, Periodismo Humano, The Huffington Post) and internationally (Travel Africa Magazine, Sunday Times, Corbis, Demotix, ACNUR), has worked for companies and NGOs, and has won awards for his work at a waste disposal site in Phnom Phen.
