CurArte - Forty years photographing the world of Healthcare with Tino Soriano. This FREE online zoom presentation is being presented by the FIAP Photo Academy Online Events on Thursday 27 March 2025 at 7pm London Time. Please note that this presentation will be in Spanish.
Join FIAP for a presentation by the Spanish Photojournalist Tino Soriano who will speak with us about his ongoing project to document the world of Healthcare. Tino Soriano is the only photographer in the world who for four decades has documented with his camera an environment where it is very difficult to introduce a camera. From his first photographs taken in 1980 in a Mental Institute, what used to be called an insane asylum, to the last images he took risking his own life during the Covid pandemic, Tino shows us a journey that includes aspects as varied as international medical collaboration campaigns in developing countries, home visits or images of daily life in hospitals.
Born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, award-winning photographer Tino Soriano has photographed numerous National Geographic guidebooks, including publications on Portugal, Spain, and Sicily. He has also worked on three National Geographic television documentaries.
He has been honoured with numerous national and international awards from groups such as World Press Photo, UNESCO, WHO and is the owner of five awards FotoPres. Tino Soriano is the author of the books "Catalans", "Heartbeats in a Hospital", "Travel Photography", amongst others. His work has been featured in some of the world's greatest publications such as The National Geographic Magazine, Smithsonian Magazine, New York Times, Paris Match, La Republica, La Vanguardia and El Pais Semanal among many others.
