Visual Stories — Adrián Rios

01
Name and Occupation.

Adrian Rios, photographer.

02
Artwork or piece with which you feel most satisfied or that you believe best represents you.

Last year, in collaboration with Minishop, we organised an exhibition called Sammich with some of my personal and professional work, where the line between the two was quite fine. I'm very proud of the result, very pleased with the reception it got, with what has come out of it and with what I learned along the way, with the people I had the pleasure of developing it and sharing it with.

03
Your first work.

I couldn't tell you which was the first. But apart from the odd photo I took with my parents' cameras, I remember that the first thing I did from the moment I picked up my first camera was to take photos of my surroundings, which at that time (and more or less today as well) meant my friends.

04
Recommend us a book, a movie and a song.
I think this is very personal, or at least I like to recommend thinking about the person who will receive it, so I'll tell you the last ones I liked.

Book: I'm reading Silk by Alessandro Baricco. Lately I've been making screenshots of what people who inspire me read, in whatever field, and I really knew I was going to like this one because it came from someone I'm very fond of.

Song: I'm caught in a loop between “Headache” and “Yung Beef.

05
Author whose works you never miss.

Juergen Teller
