Jose Luis Gea Arques was born in Orihuela (Alicante, Spain) in 1967.

It was in 1989 when Jose Luis discovered his passion for photography. Since then he has been shooting regularly.

He also started collecting old cameras, mainly 35mm which still works and that are used by himself with Black and White films (what is his predilection).

After some years absent from photography he came back to it, trying other styles and techniques. He became very interested in street photography when he met Sergi, who introduced him to this particular style. Since then he has been continuously taking street photos, when his job (optician) it allows.

His favourite author is Francés Catalá-Roca.
