Jesús Chacón was born in Marbella in 1975. A self-taught photographer, he began his professional career in the late 1990s. Before focusing his work on fine art photography, he worked in almost every area of the photographic field, including portraiture, fashion, advertising, architecture, and interior design. He has worked for international brands such as Red Bull, Dior, and Hermès. His photographs have been published in various newspapers and magazines, including El Mundo, El País, Absolute, and Mondo Sonoro. He has exhibited in numerous galleries, and his work has received several awards, including the Bronze Laus Award in 2013 and First Prize at the International Tour Film Festival in Rome in 2015.
Jesús Chacón has established himself as a leading figure in his field through his artistic projects, his distinctive use of light, and the carefully constructed settings he creates to bring his unique approach to storytelling to life. Drawing on his solid technical experience, his work seeks to recover an innocent way of seeing, where the image becomes a space for light and the fleeting moment.
Jesús Chacón has been dedicated to photography for more than 15 years and is a reference in his field for his artistic projects, the treatment of light in his images and the staging he organizes to make his peculiar way of telling stories a reality.
His very simple secret: to enjoy, to create, to surround himself with a great team of professionals and to look for formulas to adapt to the new times.
At first, Chacón did not consider being a professional photographer, it was a way of occupying his free time with other friends who were amateur photographers. But, the light and the compositions began to be part of his day to day, of his vision and came the passion for a world observed through an objective. Living the fashion editorials, getting involved in the photographs of musical groups and record companies, portraying personalities, actors and actresses, designers and politicians are a simple enumeration of the works in which Chacon has worked throughout his career.
An image, a photograph is not only that; it is the production work behind it, it is a group of people working in unison, it is an idea that is captured, it is the knowledge put into practice and a moment that remains frozen under the eyes of its author
