Cesar Dezfuli
Photojournalist / Based in Madrid, Spain
Born in Madrid in 1991, in a context of cultural mixture given by my Spanish-Persian origins, it soon awakens on me an interest to know different social and cultural realities. This will be reflected on my work as journalist and documentary photographer, in which I focus on the issues of migration, identity and human rights.
After passing through the newsrooms of 20minutes and El Periodico de Catalunya, since 2015 I work as freelancer, combining written journalism with photographic reports which have been published in media as Al Jazeera, The Guardian, BBC, De Groene Amsterdammer or El Pais, among others.
My work has been recognized with the nomination to Joop Swart Masterclass 2017, the First Prize at Head On Photo Awards or a Second Prize at the International Photographer of the Year Awards.
