Tomás Ybarra
Santiago de Compostela, 1982.
I first discovered the craft of Photography working for my uncle, an advertising photographer in the late 90s. Motivated by my older sister, who also studied cinematography, I joined Escuela TAI film school in Madrid in 2001 and graduated in 2004.
During my early years in the industry I worked as a lighting technician, camera assistant and camera operator. I found documentary filmmaking my best form of creative development.
In my recent years I have filmed feature documentaries and documentary series for Netflix, HBO, Disney +, TV3, TVE, Movistar, Al Jazeera, ABC Australia and many more.
Based in Barcelona and Asturias.
