After graduating in optics and optometry from Alicante University and studying general management programmes at IESE Business School, at the age of 21, Cristobal’s interest in the environment, wildlife and the creative world led him to nature photography. All his projects have a common denominator, which can be summarised by the concept – the art of creation, is the art of nature.
Help us harness the power of photography to advance scientific knowledge, spread awareness of important issues and nurture a global love for nature.
