Carlos Bouza

Carlos Bouza (born in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1962) is a photographer and visual artist based in Madrid, Spain. Over a career spanning more than four decades, his work has evolved from photojournalism and documentary photography toward a personal artistic practice encompassing fine art photography and digital image-making. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Spain and abroad.

Some of his series focus on places—cities, landscapes, or architectural settings—and the traces of time they bear. Others examine how visual transformations can alter our perception of a recognizable scene. Photography and digital processes play different roles according to the nature of each project.

In *Distorsiones*, exhibited at the Colegio de España in Paris in 2022, reflections in water and distortions of everyday scenes place the images between recognition and abstraction.

He trained with photographer Gonzalo Tomé Ros, learning and practicing photography in a professional setting. He later refined his skills at the F8 School of Photography, where he completed a comprehensive program in professional photography.

Throughout his career, he has developed much of his knowledge through self-directed learning and has attended various workshops, including a Nikon workshop on urban and travel photography taught by Jesús G. Pastor.
