Andrés Giménez

Photographer based in Spain

My name is Andrés Giménez and I am a photographer based in Murcia, Spain. My passions for traveling and photography don’t have a clear starting point. I was drawn towards photography as a way to be creative and a tool to express feelings and emotions, something that I hadn’t been able to do until then. Traveling, likewise, was a source of inspiration to take photos. I try to travel as much as possible to combine both of these passions. 

"I thrive taking outdoor and nature pictures and these two passions have developed hand in hand since my first trips."

If I could go back in time, I would choose the first time I saw and took a picture of a lion. Some months ago in our trip around Namibia my partner Laura saw something through the window so we quickly stopped to have a look. It turned out to be a couple of young lions which had just caught a giraffe. They were fiercely protecting their prey from hyenas. There we were, Laura and I, without any guide and anyone else living our truly first experience with wildlife. The photographs of the moment aren’t my best by far, but it was the most exciting and intense moment experienced with a camera on my hands. 

When I share my work, I hope that viewers can feel what I felt when I lived that moment and took that photo. At times I feel the natural world is so beautiful and astonishing that photos are not able to transmit what we are seeing or living, though. I sincerely look up people who are able to share the beauty of the ordinary things, but my real inspiration is the extraordinary and discovering new corners of this world.

I am deeply attracted by new places and cultures, so my main motivation when traveling and taking photos is always to keep discovering new ways of life, nature and all the learning that it involves.

"I think that there is nothing like traveling to open your mind and grow."
"Each trip is a new push to learn and improve my work and keep my motivation up. One can easily get used to material things but the experiences lived in each trip remain in you forever!"
