Damaso Avila
Architecture photographers
"I'm Dámaso Ávila and I live in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). I started photography in 2004, maintaining a continuous pace of learning and experience to this day.
At first, I actively participated in photography forums and, over time, I timidly began participating in national photography competitions, achieving success that encouraged me to take the leap to the international stage in 2019.
In the years since then, I have won various awards in several international competitions (European Photo Awards, International Photo Awards, New York Photo Awards, Muse Photo Awards, Fine Art Photo Awards, Monovisions, Paris PX3, etc.), mainly in the categories of architecture, portraits, street photography, and fine art.
I have held several solo exhibitions and published articles in magazines and books. In the short term, my goal is to maintain my level of international participation and intend to write a book to showcase my work."

"The photo shows the entrance to the Oriente Station in the Portuguese capital, designed by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
This avant-garde building, whose façade appears in the photo, was designed by Calatrava and inaugurated in 1998 for the World's Fair held in Lisbon that year."

In Gran Canaria, a picturesque pool surrounded by tropical greenery set the stage for Le Cruel. With striking contrasts of light, reflections, and movement, the shoot embodied the brand’s bold and artistic spirit—a fusion of fashion and art in an extraordinary setting.

"We are a professional photo and film location service company based in the Canary Islands. We provide a unique locations marketplace and full location services.
Locationow has worked on several photo and film shoots in the Canary Islands and Madrid this year:
For the TV series 'Camilo Superstar', in collaboration with production company Buendía Estudios and Atresplayer, Locationow was part of the team taking care of location services for this project, that tells the story of one of the most popular singers of the 70s in Spain, Camilo Sesto. Locationow found an incredible location in the north of Tenerife Island, that represents the legendary home of Camilo Sesto in Madrid, full of super large windows from which you can see the garden. We also found another location in the Canary Islands, the singer's summer home in Mallorca, an impressive space with a pool, views of the beach and a classic 70s style.
Locationow also worked on a project with the jewelry brand Vidda Jewelry. The location is a singular villa with an avant-garde and modern line that fits perfectly with the elegance and sophistication of the collection.
As usual, the goal is to add value both in the photo and the moving image world through excellence in location services.

Ford Night Swimming: This ambitious commercial featuring a group of young people enjoying a swim at night with their Ford Rangers was shot almost entirely at the Buftea Studios in Romania. Their 50m x 25m x 5m deep water stage was the perfect location to create an underwater lake complete with several tons of gravel and rock, replete with real water lilies and flowers. After the set was installed, and all the gravel washed, it took more than one week to fill the tank!
Working with director Adam Berg from Smuggler, and DP Joost van Gelder, McLeod was tasked with the underwater cinematography. Due to the size of the space, more than 150 Arri Sky Panels were installed overhead, and special LED lamps had to be customised by McLeod for underwater use, to recreate the headlamps of the Ford Rangers. McLeod used a Hydroflex housing for the Arri Alexa Mini LF and Master primes to create the balletic camera movements with the actors.
