Chema Madoz
Encyclopedia
Jose Maria Rodriguez Madoz (born 1958) better known as Chema Madoz, is a Spanish
photographer, best known for his black and white surrealist photographs.
Chema Madoz studied Art History
at Universidad Complutense de Madrid between 1980 and 1983. It is here that he was first exposed to the study of photography
and imaging.
In an interview published in 2001, Chema explains that he currently uses a Hasselblad
camera to take his photos. The book, Chema Madoz: Objetos 1990–1999 was presumably shot entirely with this camera, rather than the 6×6 Mamiya
he has used previously.
