Thanks for stopping by! My name is Carlos and I was born in Granada (Spain). As far as I can recall, both science and art have been the two main driving forces in my life since I was fairly young. In my quest to unravel the mysteries of our (sleeping) brain, I became a neuroscientist and studied/worked in several countries, including Iceland, USA, The Netherlands, and Switzerland. For many years, photography was simply a tool for me to document these travels and the people I encountered along the way. However, this recently changed when I got myself into the vast world of analog photography. One frame at a time, analog techniques allow me to use a wide range of tools to experiment with images and alter reality as we see it. Ultimately, I am drawn to the parallelisms between scientific experimentation in the laboratory and analog manipulations in the (dark)room. For me, the never-ending possibilities for image manipulation using chemistry, physics, optics, or mechanics make the PROCESS even more interesting than the OUTCOME. 

​

I am currently working on what will be my first photobook. 'Aguaespejo 2.0' will focus on offering a dreamy and often psychedelic interpretation of the cultural and architectural heritage of the city of Granada (Spain). Visit the 'Aguaespejo 2.0' section for more information. 

​

My art has been featured in specialized magazines and exhibited in both virtual and on-site galleries and photography festivals. I am particularly interested in collaborating with bands and musicians to create impactful album art (see 'Album Art' and 'Portraiture' sections for a few examples).  

​

I am always happy to explore new avenues for artistic collaboration. Feel free to reach out by sending an e-mail to cdelriobermudez@gmail.com or via Instagram (@theaffablegraindealer).

Stay safe,

Carlos
