Santos Román
A course by Santos Román
Santos defines himself as an animal portraitist. After years of taking photos for advertising, he decided to switch to animal photography full-time in 2008. He's collaborated with clients like Affinity, Purina, Cotécnica, Nature's Variety, and Visán, taking unique photos of pets with a fresh, elegant, and fun style that wins over all audiences. Most of his work revolves around dogs, cats, and horses, but he's always looking to explore new territory, such as bird photography.
In addition to his commercial work, he pursues personal projects that dip farther into the art world. He has displayed his photographs in galleries across Spain, like Standarte in Madrid, Setba in Barcelona, and Mediadvanced in Gijón, as well as in the United States, including Rollup in San Francisco and Affordable Art Fair in New York. The aim of his artistic work is to make us reflect on our relationship with animals by giving us a glimpse of their personality through the concept of psychological portraits.
