María Morenés Basabe
Photographer
María Morenés Basabe is a professional photographer with a degree in Biological Sciences. In 2021, during the Filomena snowstorm, she took her most mediatic series, ‘Madrid in white’. The book with these photographs was published at the end of the same year and has now sold more than 5,000 copies.
As a photographer with a passion for Spain's cultural richness, her work focuses on capturing the customs, places and traditions that make up the country's heritage and historical legacy. Through her lens, she seeks to document and share the beauty and diversity of the country. Her photography is a window to the soul, portraying everything from the meticulous processes of artisan workshops to the intensity and passion of bullfighting or flamenco, the beauty of the still wild landscapes of the north, the customs of the countryside, the memories trapped in rural ruins or the magic of historic cities.
Her aim is to transmit, in an intimate and poetic way, the essence of what is Spanish, seeking to capture in each photograph the living history, art and spirit of Spain.
