About Xan Padron

Xan Padrón (Galicia, Spain 1969). I am a photographer, but also a teacher, composer and musician. My interest in photography started when I received my first camera at the age of 12 from my Godfather, who was a renowned photo-journalist. In 1983 I first established my darkroom in Spain. Although my career is focused in Spanish music and culture, my passion as a photographer is devoted to the life of the others. My portraits of artists have been published, mainly in USA and Spain, in newspapers and magazines (Wall Street Journal, The Writers Magazine, Inside Arts, El Mundo, La Voz de Galicia, El Correo Gallego, Faro de Vigo, Fugas, Culturas, Auria) as well as concert programs (Metropolitan Museum, Chicago Symphony Hall), posters (Mostly Mozart Festival 2007) and CD covers. My lastest solo exhibitions were in Barcelona, (Spring 2009) at Café de la Princesa with the project Visions of New York and Ourense, Spain (Fall 2011) at El Cercano with the project Human City. I participated in the June and November 2017 editions of The Other Art Fair in New York City
