Reviews
A course by Santiago Arau Pontones
The life of Santiago Arau revolves around photography. With more than 15 years of experience doing still photography and video, one of his last great professional milestones has been to begin in aerial photography with drones, which he has known how to take advantage of with impressive results. Although he has had the opportunity to photograph various parts of the world, and has been able to cover major international sporting events, in recent years, he has dedicated himself to documenting life in Mexico City, photographing from concerts to marches and demonstrations.
His aerial photographs have been published in different media, both national and international, such as the BBC, NY Times, The Guardian, El País, CNN, and various newspapers. In addition, his work has been exhibited in different countries such as Spain, the United States and Mexico.
