Alfonso de Castro is a photographer whose body of work spans two decades and covers five continents. He has contributed to many publications, conferences and exhibitions as a professor of Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. No area of photography has escaped his attention. His portfolio contains stunning color and black and white images of various styles and formats. He is adept at using a wide variety of techniques and is proficient in many disciplines including portrait, pinhole, and panoramic photography. De Castro also finds inspiration in the genesis of photography incorporating alternative and historical methods such as the Platinum/Palladium, Argyrotype, and the Cyanotype Processes into his body of work. Few forge the technical knowledge, the historical and critical perspective and the mastery of various genres into the cunning eye of the photographer. Whether it be in his native city of Zaragoza (Spain), in the jungles of Rwanda, or in China, Alfonso de Castro is always in search of the elusive rays of light which, in conjunction with the right scene and an effervescent slice of life, contribute to a powerful photograph.
