What is the meaning of wine for you? Where do you like to enjoy it, alone or with others? At what time of the day? What is your most special memory in front of a glass?
‘We asked photographers, artists and content creators to tell us, through analogue photography, about their relationship with wine. To make tangible what we don’t usually see and immortalise their most personal sensations in images that will last forever”, Bodegas Bela.
The intimacy of wine through the eyes and the accurate shot of a group of friends, who rescue the craftsmanship and the slow language of the analogue to portray their purest vision of our reds and whites.
‘Bela en analógico: Diario de un vino de Ribera’ navigates through the most personal frames of wine lovers who, like you, have a lot to tell.
Now, these glimpses of wine will be transformed into food through the auction of a selection of photographs by these authors.
Alfonso Ohnur’s long career and personal style have led him to become one of the most important fashion photographers in Spain. He began shooting in analogue, and although he continues to use it, he has ended up navigating in digital.
Art, architecture and cinema, one of his great passions, have become his nooks and crannies of inspiration. He sees fashion photography as a place in which to create stories and make those on the other side dream, as if it were a film.
The story of photographer Bárbara Lanzat began at the age of 8, when her father’s brother, also a photographer, gave her a camera as a gift on the day of her First Communion. After studying Audiovisual Communication, she decided to turn her childhood hobby into her profession.
With a background in communications, Bea Gaspar decided to turn her career around and focus on photography and her other great passion: storytelling. During these years, in addition to being the creator of campaigns for fashion brands, many of them for children, she created the platform Hello! Creatividad, a virtual training space with courses focused on marketing, social media, photography and other topics related to creativity, family and business.
Photographers and creative directors Mike Madrid and Gabriel García are the names and alma mater of Cup of Couple. High doses of inspiration, a keen sense of aesthetics and their intuition have led them to carve out an interesting niche for themselves in the Spanish fashion and design world. With this characteristic and quickly recognisable style, they have intimately portrayed their relationship with wine through Bela’s references.
Ester Bellón is an architect, a profession that undoubtedly influences the perfect blend of quality, hedonism and simplicity that characterises the content she creates on Instagram. Everything she touches with her wand takes on a unique and delicate character.
Inés de León, film and advertising director and scriptwriter, has managed to build a very particular style, fresh, fun and with a special eye for comedy. Her very personal style and sharp eye has led her to direct campaigns and fashion films for brands such as Gaultier, Chanel and Gucci. Together with Inés Lorenzo, she created the series ‘Fashion Drama’ on the website of the renowned Vogue magazine and has directed films such as ‘¿Qué te juegas?’ (2019) and ‘A todo tren 2’ (2022), in which she herself acts.
Photography has always been present in Mileva Jevremovitch’s life: her father’s cameras, negatives, slides projected in the living room, long photo sessions as a model, contact sheets and Polaroids. So when a medium-format camera fell into her hands in 2022, this photographer left marketing behind to set up her own darkroom in which to learn little by little and accompany the images from the shot to the paper.
The photographer Mirta Rojo was born in Palencia and studied Audiovisual Communication. When she was a child she did not think of becoming a photographer, but her passion awoke years later when she was working as an assistant. Sensitivity, a taste for aesthetics and her technical skills are some of her hallmarks. Her twelve years of experience have taken her to the pages of magazines such as Vogue, El País Semanal, AD or Traveler, photographing fashion, travel or art.
Palito Dominguín is a photographer, model and artist. Multifaceted and creative, she is passionate about artistic expression in all possible forms. And she has reflected this in her ‘Diary of a Ribera wine’, creating surreal scenarios in the heart of the Extremadura countryside in which to enjoy wine.
Uxío da Vila was born in Madrid, studied law and became a self-taught photographer. That is where he stayed. His photographic work is analogue and his work, marked by the autobiographical, portrays the everyday, the passage of time and the perception of reality or memory.
Next Monday 13 May, our Tr31ntayuno space will be transformed into an ephemeral art gallery to host this charity auction of photographic works. We will be able to meet first-hand all the artists who will join us in support of this cause. To attend the auction, please register here. Limited places.
