  • Photographer
    Carlos Velasco, Spain
  • Studio

Mr. Chang, a porcelain figure who travels from family to family, from premises to premises, from occasions to occasions, from parties to parties. When the night is over and the dawn breaks, the crowd leaves and the cleaning lady comes in, Mr. Chang always wakes up from a plastic dream to another plastic dream.

I am a self-taught photographer and filmmaker from Madrid, Spain. Inevitably having been influenced by the great Spanish artists such as El Greco, Goya, and Picasso, I started my art journey from painting, and not long after I shifted my interests and efforts into making imaginative pictures through photography and artistic manipulation.

My early personal artworks eventually led me to various commissioned advertising projects working with European and Asian brands such as LOEWE, Reebok, Benson and Hedges, BOBSON Jeans, Martell Cognac, etc...

In addition to commercial works, I constantly shoot images with my eyes focus on the streets, the landscapes, storytelling people, and still life. Recently I've come back to my first inspiration and worked on several personal projects in fine art photography, creating poetic, imaginative and metaphoric pictures.
