Artista Fotógrafo
Jesús Chacón nació en Marbella en 1975. Autodidacta, comenzó su carrera profesional a finales de los años noventa. Antes de centrar su trabajo en la fotografía artística, ha trabajado en casi todas las áreas del mundo de la fotografía (retratos, moda, publicidad, arquitectura, interiorismo…). Ha trabajado para firmas internacionales como Red Bull, Dior y Hermès. Sus fotografías han sido publicadas en distintos medios y revistas como El Mundo, El País, Absolute y Mondo Sonoro. Ha expuesto en numerosas galerías y su obra ha recibido diversos premios, entre ellos el Laus de bronce en 2013 y el Primer Premio del International Tour Film Festival de Roma en 2015.
Jesús Chacón se ha consolidado como un referente en su campo por sus proyectos artísticos, el tratamiento de la luz en sus imágenes y la puesta en escena que organiza para hacer realidad su particular forma de contar historias. Su trabajo busca —partiendo de una sólida experiencia técnica— recuperar esa mirada inocente donde la imagen se convierte en el lugar de la luz y del instante.
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
