Jose A. Gallego

Award-winning Spanish photographer Jose A. Gallego creates stunning images that entrance us through their technical virtuosity and timeless themes. With his modern sense for composition combined with a sensitivity for lighting that nods to the great Spanish Baroque painters, Gallego crafts incredible portraits of exotic animals, lonesome vistas, and intricate tableaux of urbanity. Employing high contrast lighting, forms seem to protrude from the abyss, focusing our attention on the fine articulation of detail captured by Gallego’s adept camera. Many of his photographs convey a sense of isolation or loneliness. We are presented with urban scenes devoid of personal connection, as vacant modern buildings emit their cool electric glow beneath eerie El Greco skies. “I do wish viewers to reflect, to think,” he explains. “Not only on what is pictured but on their own loneliness in the world.”

Gallego is an active professor and has exhibited his photographs frequently throughout Spain and in the United States. His works have appeared in major publications such as National Geographic, El Pais and Digital Photo.
