MY NAME IS ÁLVARO GUERRA, I’M A VIDEOGRAPHER, PHOTOGRAPHER, GRAPHIC DESIGNER AND WEB DEVELOPER FROM VALLADOLID, SPAIN.
I WAS BORN IN 2000 AND I GREW UP SURROUNDED BY CAMERAS THANKS TO MY FATHER. I STUDIED ART HIGH SCHOOL AND MOVED TO MADRID TO STUDY PHOTOGRAPHY ALTHOUGH I LEFT MY STUDIES SHORTLY AFTER STARTING TO TRAIN MYSELF IN A SELF-TAUGHT WAY.
DURING THE PANDEMIC, I BECAME INTERESTED IN WEB DEVELOPMENT, PHOTOSHOP AND ILLUSTRATOR AS WELL AS VIDEO EDITING AND WHEN THE LOCKDOWN ENDED, I STARTED WORKING FOR A MARKETING COMPANY IN VALLADOLID BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER, I TALKED TO MY FATHER (PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS) AND WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION: WHY ARE WE WORKING FOR OTHERS, WHEN WE CAN WORK FOR OURSELVES? SO THAT’S HOW VESARTE WAS BORN, OUR CREATIVE STUDIO WHERE WE WORK ON SOCIAL NETWORKS, VIDEO, PHOTO, DESIGN AND WEB PAGES.
AT THE SAME TIME THAT VESARTE WAS CREATED, «RECREO» WAS BORN, MY SECOND COMPANY THAT I AM PART OF, TOGETHER WITH MY FRIENDS. PARTIES OF FRIENDS THAT LITTLE BY LITTLE HAVE ENDED UP BECOMING BIG EVENTS WITH MORE THAN 3.000 ATTENDEES AND THE BIGGEST DJS IN SPAIN. INSIDE RECREO I’M IN CHARGE OF TAKING CARE OF THE CORPORATE IMAGE OF THE COMPANY, THE MARKETING STRATEGY, SOCIAL NETWORKS, WEB PAGE…
I CURRENTLY HAVE 3 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN AGENCIES AND teamwork, ALTHOUGH I’M ALSO USED TO TAKE BIG PROJECTS FORWARD by MY OWN. My life goal is relating all my work to the things that fill me the most, music and the sea culture.

video
5 years ago I started making videos of my trips with the purpose of having them aS MEMORIES but I discovered that they MADE ME FEEL LOTS OF THINGS so I started to be interested in it, little by little I started working as a VIDEOGRAHPER in some nightclub and after a few years I bought my current camera with which I began to work more professionally till creating this last year two short films of 5-6 minutes with their corresponding scripts, technical scripts, voiceover, production and sponsorship that HAVE ENDED UP GETTING UP TO 6 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SELECTIONS IN film FESTIVALS.
I’ve grown up surrounded by sports and that is reflected in my work, I’m inspired by the world and culture of the sea and board sports such as surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding but also fashion and architecture.
i would liko TO HIGHLIGHT «AMETSETAN BIZITZEN» AND «SHAFAM», TWO SHORT FILMS RELATED TO THE WORLD OF SURFING. THE FIRST ONE talks about THE STORY OF AITOR FRANCESENA, TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION OF ADAPTED SURFING, A DOCUMENTARY DIRECTED, WRITTEN, RECORDED AND EDITED BY MYSELF AS WELL AS «SHAFAM» WHICH IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY MY FIRST PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION.
PHOTO
Following the course of the videos, my trips years ago made me get interested in it.
Nowadays I have worked in travel photography, portrait, fashion, sports, jewelry, wineries, product, festivals, journalism…
To highlight my interest in the sea and analog photography, 3 years ago I started shooting on film almost at the same time I started to relate my work with the sea and both things are the ones that end up transmitting me the most.

design
Currently, graphic design is what occupies most of my time in my daily work. I could say that minimalism and vintage things are what inspires me the most, although I can adapt to anything.
As a great work to highlight, is the corporate identity of the company of which I am part «Recreo».
Thematic events that each time require a different design of promotional flyers applied to social networks, wristbands, t-shirts, physical posters of the event, promotional videos… everything a big event needs.
In addition to creating the corporate identities of my two companies, also highlights my work in «La Pipeta» a summer terrace with live music that was born as the adaptation of Recreo during the years of pandemic, a complete identity with promotional flyers, menus, djs, web…
I HAVE ALSO DONE DIFFERENT JOBS IN THE WORLD OF restaurants, local COMMERCE OR JEWELRY, ALTHOUGH TO DATE, WHAT I AM MOST SATISFIED WITH IS THE IMAGE OF MY OWN PROJECTS SUCH AS «SHAFAM».

web
DURING THE lockdown I DEDICATED COUNTLESS HOURS TO WEB DESIGN, SO I MANAGED TO CREATE MY OWN WEBSITE, WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON; AND LATER ON, THE VESARTE WEBSITE, WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY WEBSITES FOR FASHION DESIGNERS, ECOMMERCE, local COMMERCEs OR FOR EXAMPLE the one of «Recreo».
