Elena del Rivero Fernández

Fine Arts graduate specialized in Photography and Illustration at the University of Barcelona.

Until August 2021, I combined my role of Graphic Designer at EFTI (International School of Photography and Film of Madrid), with freelance projects as a Photographer and Illustrator. I also have experience in teaching roles, both as an Arts Teacher at the University of Valladolid (Spain), and as the leader of Photography workshops in several cultural centres.

My clients include Ah! (online cultural magazine, Spain), Superga (clothing brand, UK), Peseta (clothing brand, Spain), and the National Centre for Writing in the UK.

I am passionate about my field, and the power of images to tell inspiring stories. I really enjoy the creative process, and work closely with cultural and creative departments to deliver exciting projects that meet the client’s needs.
