Interview with Ricky Dávila: “Photography is a wonderful life partner”
For Ricky Dávila (Bilbao, 1964), the final aim of every photograph is to create poetry, as his oeuvre demonstrates by consistently representing reality.
Having received some of the most prestigious awards, such as the World Press Photo 2nd Prize, the Fotopress and Ortega y Gasset Awards, Dávila explored journalism until 1995 when he definitively gave up news media to dedicate his career to more individual work.
