About

Self-portrait with Robert Therien's "Under the Table", 2010.

Growing up in Madrid, in a family of editors, photographers and journalists, as the seventh child of eight, Isaac has a passion for magazines and good humor.

“I’m an explorer, looking for beauty, not only in the obvious, but also in our human imperfection and absurdity,” says Isaac. “Photography occurs to me like meditation, a reminder to be present to the intimacy of life, and to laugh at myself.”

He speaks fluent English and Spanish, plus Italian and Portuguese. He’s a master at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera and creating beautiful images. His experience as a writer for hundreds of magazines and newspapers around the world gives him an advantage as a photojournalist.

He serves as US Correspondant for different international publications, including El Mundo, Spain’s second largest newspaper. Isaac loves the production part of being a photographer, from finding the right people for a story and scheduling their interview, to booking alternate flights for the editors when their original ones were canceled.

His experience in film (as director of photography, producer, editor and director), theater, design and conceptual art round up his artistic vision. He’s also passionate about education, volunteering to teach photography and art at local public schools. Isaac has written four plays in collaboration with kids, directing three of them.
