Oscar Díez Martinez
Born in Madrid on July 22, 1973. Since I can remember, I have always been astounded about animals and their world, but it was not until 2002 that I began to photograph them.
After going on safari to Kenya in my honeymoon and every single day, I realize I cannot stop photographing them. On April 2005 I bought my first digital camera, and it was then when I began to achieve a real success in my work.
Birds and then mountains are what I feel more attracted about and catching pictures of them is my specialty. The fact of not missing any possible opportunity nature offers me has turned me into an all-purpose photographer, as I always take advantage of the best moments of wildlife and their habitats to capture them.
Completely self-taught, nature and the countryside have been my tools to learn all I know. Teachings of great photographers, who now are friends, and spending most of my time studying the behavior of birds have let me achieve gratifying results for me. I think going out and get into a "hide" to observe everything without being seen by the environment around you, is one of those feelings in life that leaves you speechless.
