PHOTOGRAPHERS' SHOOT OUT Jul 2010

: Madrid: Jose Aragon + Photo

José Aragón was born in Madrid. He studied geology and film direction before following his true passion, photography. He finds inspiration in the cities he has worked in, notably London, New York and Milan. He is also influenced by the masters of Italian and Japanese cinema, books, video art, dance and experimentation.

Based between Madrid and Tokyo, José has collaborated with international magazines such as Vogue Nippon, Esquire Japan, FHM, NoX and Kee Hong Kong, as well as with international clients including Hogan, Cartier, Levi's Japan, Subaru, Cupid Jewels, Dress 33, Corrupt Design Jewels, and many others.

This series of photos was taken at the Fresh Faces 2010 event where Jose shot as one of three photographers who held simultaneous sessions with the Fresh Faces finalists. Shooting over a very short period of time, his work showcases both the talent of the models and the quality of fashion brand Escada.

"My work is based on the use of light and colour saturation, and I approach each project with a different sensibility. I always try to find what lies underneath instead of focusing on what the eye perceives."
