About his work:

Eduardo let’s us to understand the studio not as a special place filled with electronic flashes and sophisticated cameras with tripods, but as our space where we can “construct” our photographs, a controlled photography down to the smallest detail.
As once know, Let’s say that portraiture and figure photography require certain protocols, they can help us solve our photographs with more awareness and better results, as well as simplify our photographic practice.
“Portraits and Other Photographs” is not a lighting course it’s undoubtedly, there are others – in which Eduardo Momeñe works in one of the most exciting “topics” that photography offers, such as portraiture and any of its modalities.
