Outumuro (1949, Ourense) is a professional photographer who has photographed the great names of the Spanish and international fashion: models, actresses and celebrities. He currently lives in Barcelona (his studio is located in a former eighteenth century palace), a city that has always enjoyed a rich artistic culture and often inspired many creative people. Outumuro is also famous for designing the promotional material for the film “The Others”, with Nicole Kidman.
You can admire two decades of his great work (1990-2010) and discover the lighting techniques he uses, as well as the evolution of the advertising, the different visual strategies used depending on whether female or male pictures are taken and so on.
Outumuro is a specialised fashion photographer but Barcelona was also one of his muses, and one of his many portfolios is entitled “Barcelona, another vision.” And do not forget his advertising spots, for chocolate bars, yogurt, clothes and magazines… He´s literally done everything!
The exhibition is located in one of two branches of DHUB, located in the historic centre of Barcelona in Calle Montcada in the Born district, not far from the Picasso Museum and the Church of Santa Maria del Mar.
