With the generational influences of his father and grandfather, David Santaolalla bought his first Minolta X-300 camera. With the rise of digital photography, David further developed his passion. Now a retired engineer, Santaolalla is able to discuss photography weekly with friends while teaching various workshops and courses. In addition, he has participated in many individual and group exhibitions.

Santaolalla’s still life photography features everyday objects and attributes new entities to them to create a surreal and humorous vision for his viewers.
