Chio Fernández
Chio Fernández is originally from Málaga, Spain but relocated to London in 2009. From an early age, she was a talented painter and this love of art later progressed also to photography. While studying Civil Engineering in Spain, she made the brave decision to leave her degree and follow her passion. She moved to London where she completed a BA in Photography and Film at the University of Roehampton. The attention to detail, light and colours, taken from her time painting, is easily appreciated in her images now.
In 2020, after finding herself with plenty of time on her hands due to several lockdowns and related working limitations, Chio revisited her passion for painting and has been creating beautiful colourful figurative art of women that has become very popular amongst art lovers. In less than a year she booked her first gallery show in The Depot_ London, followed by a group show in Folkestone Art Gallery. Her work is currently displayed at multiple locations across Hertfordshire.
Photography experience:
Chio’s images have been published by Conde Nast Traveler, SUITCASE Magazine and Vogue. She has developed her signature style by creatively combining documentary and lifestyle aspects, which she applies to all areas of photography. Her interior work has taken her all across Europe and Asia as the official photographer for Parkview Private Collection, a selection of luxurious properties owned by Parkview Group. She also worked shooting candid celebrity portraits for Amazon's subsidiary company, Audible. She was a member of the judging panel on the Pink Lady ® food photographer awards, a member of the X-Photographer programme by Fujifilm Uk from 2017 to 2019 and a frequent speaker at The Photography Show.
