Naroa Perez

BIO

Born in Barcelona in 1978, Naroa Pérez has been delving into the realms of touch, nostalgia, and fear through photography since 2002. Her artistic focus centers on the darkroom and its intricate processes, with a keen interest in procedural elements such as mistake, chance, and repetition. Pérez's photography pursuits extend to exploring techniques such as liquid emulsion and color printing, including color transparency E6.

Her artwork has found a place in prestigious collections, notably the library of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the rare book collection of Oxford University's Bodleian Library in Weston. In 2017, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Photography from the London College of Communication (UAL).

Currently, Pérez is engaged in a project divergent from her personal photography endeavors. She serves as the director of Lakeside Darkroom, situated in Thamesmead, London, nestled along the shores of Southmere Lake. For further details, visit or follow on Instagram.
