My name is Edu Calde and I was born in Vic (Barcelona) in 1989.
Artist by vocation (and having ruled out pursuing university studies in Philosophy), I started my career as a photographer in 2011 (despite having been an amateur photographer since 2005 and having completed a baccalaureate in art in 2008) when I decided to study a four-years university degree in Photography and Contemporary Creation in Barcelona and then a one-year specialization in Author Photography.
From 2015 when I finished my studies until approximately 2019 I leave photography in the background for personal reasons.
After a holiday trip to Iceland in 2019, I decided to leave my whole life behind to move to Iceland and start a new life with new goals, new opportunities and new challenges to grow both personally and professionally (although these plans were not carried out until 2021 due to Covid situation).
Now, after a year living and starting my new life in my new country, Iceland, I feel that I am once again the artist that I was.
I’m a fine art photographer passionate about knowledge and fundamental and transcendental issues such as existence, life, death, science, the universe or God. I try not to leave anyone indifferent with my photography, to provoke some emotion, to create an irrational link between my photography and the spectator and his own experience. My art is ambitious and visually striking, delicate and shocking, nice and sharp. My art pretend to be visual philosophy.
