Cyril De La Torre Branger was born in London and grew up in Madrid where in 1986 he studied photography at the Centre of Visual Studies. He then spent four years freeancing as an assistant to landscape, architecture and fashion photographers. Later he moved to Los Angeles and London where he continued working on commissioned and self promotional work. Cyril currently lives and works in Melbourne, Australia
Integral within all of Cyril's beautiful and elegant photographs is the notion of movement. From the obvious depiction of trails left in the sky from a travelling plane, to those left by a burning cigarette, it is clear that life has been captured as it continues around him. Similarly, to viewing a film still, the sense of documenting the passing of time rather than capturing a frozen moment, helps to create a sense of spectator benevolence rather than voyeurism.
