As everyone in our times, my first contact with photography was with an old camera we had at home; the one my parents used to take pictures of our holidays. I loved to look at people through\u00a0 the viewfinder, rather than taking photos.\u00a0 I learned how to use a camera some years later, in a period I spent in Torquay (England), trying to learn some english.\u00a0 There I was captivated by red lights and there I was first charmed, watching the image\u00a0 appearing slowly in white sheets.<\/p>\n

After that, I started taking photos and arrived my first works: some collaborations here, two photos there, some images for some record covers… and I got into this amazing world.<\/p>\n

I worked in ARGIA for several years, a weekly magazine, and after that I had the chance to become a staff photographer at EUSKALDUNON EGUNKARIA, the only daily newspaper written in Basque language at that time. I worked there since 1998 till the end of 2001.<\/p>\n

I joined Argazki Press at the beginning of 2002, when this photo agency was created, and I worked as a photographer, where I stayed until the end of March 2013.<\/p>\n

Since 2015 I colborate with Getty Images and Agence France Press and my work has been published in different newspapers such as Gara, Berria, La Gaceta, El Pais, Der Spiegel, The Guardian, The Washington Post and R\u00e9cord among others.<\/p>\n

Now, we gathered some photographers to show our vision of our time and we created BOSTOK PHOTO<\/a><\/span>, a cooperative that will let us, the photographers, to become responsible of our decisions; and here i am taking photos of what I have ahead, still looking at the people trhough my camera.<\/p>\n

GARI GARAIALDE
Gure garaiko gehienok bezala, familiak oporretako argazkiak ateratzeko zeukan kamerarekin izan nituen argazkilaritzarekin lehen hartu emanak, argazkiak ateratzeko baino gehiago jendeari so egiteko erabiltzen banuen ere. Urte mordo bat beranduago, Ingalaterran, bertako hizkuntza ikasteko aitzakiaz igarotako garai batean, ikasi nuen kamera tratatzen. Bertan ezagutu nuen argi gorriaren xarma, eta bertan liluratu ninduen, lehenengoz, poliki-poliki, paper zuri hartan irudia azaltzen ikusteak.<\/div>
Etxera bueltan, zuzenbideko irakasle aspergarriak entzuten nituen bitartean hartutako erabaki batek eraman ninduen zertxobait gehiago ikastera.<\/div>
Horren ondoren, argazkiekin jolasean hasi eta lehen lanak ailegatu ziren: kolaborazio bat hemen, bi argazki harentzat, beste horien diskorako irudiak... eta gero eta gehiago sartu nintzen mundutxo honetan.
ARGIA aldizkarian urte batzuetan kolaboratu ondoren, EUSKALDUNON EGUNKARIAn lanean hasteko aukera suertatu zitzaidan; 1.998tik 2.001 urtea bukatu arte izan nintzen bertan, plantillako argazkilari moduan.
2.002 urte hasieratik, ARGAZKIPRESS agentzia sortu zenetik, bertan jardun nuen, 2013ko martxoan harreman hura eten zen arte.<\/div>
Orain, argazkilari talde bat bildu gara, ikusten duguna\u00a0 beste modu batean erakusteko asmoz eta BOSTOK PHOTO AGENCY<\/a> sortu dugu, behingoagatik, argazkilariok hartzen ditugun erabakien arduradun egingo gaituen kooperatiba;\u00a0 eta hemen gabiltza parean jartzen zaigun guziari argazkiak ateratzen, oraindik ere kamerarekin jendeari so.<\/div>
