Markel Redondo (born Bilbao, 1978) says: I discovered photography in the early 2000s while living in the UK. From there I headed East to China where, studied an MA in Photojournalism, and started working for a number of agencies, newspapers and magazines. In 2007 I headed back to Europe, returning to my hometown Bilbao in 2008. Now I divide my time between Spain (Bilbao) and France (Bayonne) from where I mainly cover all Spain and South West France.
