About Artist

Ivan Ferrer

I took up photography 12 years ago, and found my interest piqued by its magic, taking it up initially as a part-time hobby and then as an all-consuming life-style. My inspiration comes from the manifold different cultures across the world: the people who are part of them, the street scenes that define them, and their customs, beliefs and ceremonies. Eager and motivated to showcase what I could, I have travelled to more than 50 countries in my determination to share these unique cultures with my viewers.
