Howdy! My name is Keko and I'm a photographer and a musician that earns his living working with technology.

I work at VML The Cocktail, a digital consultancy firm based in Madrid. We design and build digital products.

Holgado

I've been making music as Holgado since 2005, releasing four albums that you may listen on Spotify or Apple Music.

My last work is an LP about my family during the 90s. It's available in 12'' Vinyl through Bandcamp. Or you might listen to it on Spotify or Apple Music

You may also listen to some of my music in films and Tv shows like Los Años Nuevos or Luimelia, in the very first session of Miudiño Sessions or sometimes in TV interviews.

Photography

As a photographer, I'm interested in fine art photography. Specifically works that challenge perceptions surrounding digital images.

For the last 12 years I've been using security cameras as my main tool. It started as a small project about privacy and time, but it's now the only way I shoot photography for any subject, and I've released one photo book and several talks on the topic.

This is my photography portfolio. I also use Are.na for research and as a digital scrapbook. I also use this very site as a repository of my photographic diary.
