BIOGRAFíA

My name is Jose Gálvez, "Cicu"

Self-taught author. Since 2009

I am currently immersed in urban photography and documentary photography projects and essays, I shoot with film and I reveal in my dark room, in my images I try to tell the daily life and those moments that make each of them unique. Most of my work is in black and white with very contrasted images, although I do not rule out the color.
