Michael Padilla is a photographer, educator, and nurse based in Seville, Spain. His work reflects on the intemporality of the world that surrounds us, and on finding one’s place within that structure, society, or environment through mindful awareness of the unobserved cycles that we navigate in our daily lives.
His books include Plague Kids (2020), a photographic work on the more immediate ripples felt in society as a result of the pandemic which was included in the Athens Photo Festival 2022 Photobook Exhibition. He currently teaches photography and other courses at the University of Seville and Centro Universitario EUSA.
