In this series, I tried to capture the simultaneity of people in the spotlight. I wanted to capture the fleeting moments and the quiet solitude of the city by aiming for the spotlight that appears for a short time on the platform of the local train line at Atocha Station. As I looked down at the scene through the lens, I imagined a drama of chance unfolding like in a Paul Auster novel.
For over 11 years, I have been dedicated to drone filming, and 5 years ago, I founded VolandoVoy.Tv, a company specializing in the use of these aerial devices to capture images from impossible angles. This extensive experience has allowed me to gain a deep mastery of drones, particularly in the context of wildlife, having filmed a wide variety of animals in diverse natural settings.
Despite the noise that drones typically produce, I have perfected a technique of careful and patient approach. My goal is to allow animals to gradually become familiar with the drone’s presence, enabling surprisingly close interactions without disturbing their natural behavior. This skill has allowed me to capture unique perspectives, getting close to animals without causing discomfort to the different species I’ve filmed.
In the exhibition “Heartbeats of the Arctic - A Bird’s Eye View,” I aim to show how, with the responsible use of these tools, it is possible to capture images of animals in their habitat that would otherwise be nearly impossible, due to the danger or complexity of human interaction in their environment.
All the photographs in this exhibition were taken with a drone, in some cases operated from several kilometers away and just centimeters from the ground, achieving a perspective similar to that of a ground-based camera. In other instances, I take advantage of the drones’ versatility to capture unique frames in the icy landscapes of the Arctic, offering a different view of this ecosystem and its wildlife.
Through this photographic exhibition, I hope to transport you to the majestic landscapes of the Arctic, where its wildlife is endangered as its habitat shrinks due to climate change and the resulting ice melt. I also aim to foster a deep connection with the heartbeat that still resonates in every corner of this wild environment.
Había una vez una niña que consiguió su sueño: comprar un potro con lo ahorrado durante años .En esta imagen se encuentran sus dos amores:ese potro, Nogal , que es la razón por la que hoy ella es veterinaria equina, y Julia, su hija.

The United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Glaciers. This picture gives a voice to glaciers through astrophotography—a voice that urges humanity to combat climate change and preserve these critical ecosystems.
Captured in the Pyrenees, the Milky Way core arcs over the melting glacier. A solitary figure symbolizes humanity as both a witness to glacier loss and a catalyst for change.
Está fotografía fue tomada en mayo de 2023. Describe gráficamente el contraste de riqueza y pobreza en la ciudad de Madrid. Como “el cuarto mundo” pasa desapercibido en una ciudad transitada y de negocios como esta. Apela al abandono de la sociedad más vulnerable, a la desesperación del porvenir de una persona y como las mujeres seguimos siendo el sexo más vulnerable en cuestiones de pobreza.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
