Portrait by Gorka Postigo—photographer
The 2018 image by Spanish photographer Gorka Postigo for the Spanish edition of Vogue was picked by the Paris Photo team at Rossy de Palma’s suggestion, illustrative of this unique teamwork. Gorka Postigo pursued his architectural studies in Milan and Madrid. He concentrated on photography after his early years, particularly fashion and documentary photography. His portraits, which are evolving in a realm of romance and oddity, flirt with fantasy, beauty, art history, and a hint of absurdity. Gorka’s images are aesthetically arresting and amusing, and they are both cinematic and graphic.
