BIO
"I don’t censor myself when something comes to mind. I don’t worry about what others will think when I create and ellaborate my ideas. The images are created by me, and the spectator has the liberty to interpret and determine what he wants to see in them in a personal way. Liberty is then total, for me as a creator and the audience as the beholders.” - Regis Cebrián.
Regis Cebrián is an award-winning photographer who has focused his work on portraits and urban settings. For more than two decades, he has developed catalogs, exhibitions, portfolios and editorials.
His accolades include several awards in photography contests. In 2005 he won the "Brassai Award, Photography Contest", organized by the Encounter with the ARTS center ( ECARTE) with his work "Taking Control of the Body.”
In 2009 he was also amongst the winners of the international contest "Arte Estampas de Vida” which focused on safe sex and AIDS prevention, and which included painters, graphic designers and photographers from all over the world.
In 1993, after studying Communications at the University of Lima, Regis delved into photography and began work as a fashion photographer. Six years later, he moved to New York where he specialized in portraits. Among his work subjects are musicians, writers, and actors. His approach to photography is expression through color, working primarily through natural light effects, film processing and printing techniques. His influences are movies, modern dance, and music videos.
He is currently working on personal projects in which he uses portraits to reveal humans as the main characters within images that he constructs from his imagination or that he stumbles upon during everyday life.
