Born in Valencia in Spain in 1989, Erick William Lestrange currently lives and works in London and Valencia. His photo shootings usually happen in locations in these places.
First starting as a writer when he was seventeen, Lestrange suddenly had the chance to first do professional photography in Madrid for Cibeles fashion week with a cheap camera that his father, who also is a photographer, gave him. After he wrote an article about the event and photoshopped the pictures, his boss in the newspaper showed his work to Jose Luis Abad, owner of the Abad photography school in Valencia.
Jose Luis Abad gently offered Erick to study for free in his school having the opportunity to use the academy’s studio. Erick didn’t find this classes useful at all but used the ocasion to use the studio as much as he could to gain practice and improve his own photography.
After finishing the course, Erick Lestrange found himself travelling to London. Even that he didn’t have the idea of becoming a professional photographer still in mind, one day he went to the London College of Fashion with a friend who wanted to register for a course and found himself in a fashion photography course. This way he started to specialize in fashion which he found really rewarding. Even that he had already been involved in some projects like catalogues or modelling books he found the ocasion to build up his portfolio after the experience given in the London College of Fashion’s fashion photography course.
