º He receives numerous recognitions. He has won a Gold Lux 2008 award (first place in the National Professional Photography Awards in Spain) in the ‘Fashion and Beauty’ category. His work is part of important artistic collections in the world of the image.

º Paco Peregrín’s style has earned him credibility as one of the most exciting photographers working in advertising, beauty, art and fashion today. His unmistakable signature belies his background in design, communication, theatre and painting. Paco’s photography carries a perfect blend of sensuality with avant garde. Paco’s juxtapositions shows a mastery of the fine line between commercial success and art. Fusing hyper-real futurism with high-end beauty images, he is one of the talents of the Spanish photography with major personality. His work is defined by a marked character of hybridization of styles where come together the latest fashion trends and the most personal conceptual reflections, always providing to his images with a sensual, elegant and mysterious, even perturbing character, trying to interrelate the point of view of the traditional spectator of works of art with the most generic public of the mass-media.

º He resides in Madrid but he works worldwide and his work has been exhibited in many countries.
