Teacher Plus
Photographer

For Erea Azurmendi, photography started out as an expressive outlet that helped her manage her emotions and share her feelings with the world. She went on to study audiovisual communication, but discovered that her inspiration and aspiration for photography lay elsewhere. Social media enabled her to connect with creative people across the globe, hone her skills through feedback, and create engaging content that she now shares with a community of more than 146K followers.

She currently works with media outlets and major brands including Olympus, Narciso Rodríguez, and Cossac. She is also the co-author of the book Brava (Lunwerg 2020) and has participated in numerous expositions including Cuaderno de Campo, which was part of the international photography festival PHotoEspaña.
