We would like to start from the very beginning, could you tell us more about who is Txema Yeste and how you started as a fashion photographer?

I started working as a photojournalist, after finishing my studies in Barcelona and Birmingham. At some point, Magnum Paris tried to hire me for a big project but finally I felt I needed a personal change. I wanted to be able to use all my colors, flashes and lights to develop imaginary worlds of my own. So it kind of felt natural to find a space with more freedom in terms of creativity, a place where I could develop the worlds I see in myself: the fantasies, the unexpected, and the surreal.

That space ended up being the fashion language, which is somewhat the realm of fantasy. What differences do you see in fashion photography since you started until today? Nowadays you have to get through a lot of obstacles in order to avoid the product that you are shooting conditioning the shoot too much. It's always a dialogue between your idea and your idea fitting in the magazine or the clients, which is quite normal at the same time.

Also, the change of paradigm that occurred in terms of how we see images nowadays means a great deal to all image creators, I think. I don't feel that comfortable with this fast way of consuming images, or whith the screen being the only medium where we interact with images.
