Biografia

My name is Ian Waelder, I'm 19 years old (1993) and a photographer. I enjoy experimenting with the media and new ways of presentation.

“For four years now, Ian Waelder (Madrid, 1993), is dedicated to artistic photography: armed with a camera, he selects and chooses the everyday and imperceptible, converting it into something eternal and inmortal. Allergic to the posed and the artificial, the work of Waelder becomes a constant exploration of naturalness and spontaneity of the urban scene that surrounds him be it Deià, New York, or the Circus that is installed in his city, Palma. Settings are treated in black and white, pure, original and direct as the eyes of their author which are collected, not bothered by his youth, conscious of all he has to learn, experiment and mature in his field with projects that break the mold (and photos) while developing new ways to exhibit, see and understand a photograph.”
