PORTRAIT BY GORKA POSTIGO – PHOTOGRAPHER

Gorka Postigo studied architecture between Madrid and Milan. After his formative years, he focused on photography, more specifically on fashion and documentary photography. Evolving in a world of romanticism and weirdness, his portraits play with fantasy, beauty, art history and a touch of the absurd. Both cinematic and graphic, Gorka’s photographs are visually striking and playful.
