Bio

Oscar Calleja hails from a quaint village in northern Spain, where the artistic and entrepreneurial spirits of his parents shaped his creative journey from a young age. Immersed in a world of creativity, Calleja explored a diverse array of artistic outlets, including painting, sculpture, music, and dance, before ultimately discovering his true passion behind the lens. His foray into the fashion industry began in Madrid, where he seized the opportunity to work as a studio assistant. This pivotal experience allowed him to learn from esteemed photographers, honing his skills over seven transformative years while contributing to an eclectic mix of projects, from high-fashion editorials to global advertising campaigns. As he cultivated his artistic voice, Calleja transitioned from fashion photography to still life, a genre that resonates deeply with him. Here, he revels in the freedom to capture the inherent beauty and essence of everyday objects and fashion accessories, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Driven by his passion, Calleja made the bold decision to step away from his assistant role and fully embrace his vision as a solo artist, dedicating himself to the creation of captivating images that invite viewers to see the world through his unique lens.
