Diego Manrique is a professional consultant and landscape photographer based in León, Northern Spain. For more than a decade, he has traveled extensively, with a strong focus on the United States and its National Parks. Although photography had always been present in his life, it was in 2020 when it became a central creative outlet. During the pandemic, with borders closed and his wife based in New York, photography became both a refuge and a catalyst for personal and artistic growth.
He began photographing the rugged coastline of Asturias, gradually developing a distinctive visual language focused on powerful, atmospheric, and remote landscapes. A key turning point came in 2021 during his first trip to the Norwegian Arctic, where he specialized in panoramic photography, Arctic environments, winter light, and aerial perspectives.
In recent years, Diego has received multiple national and international recognitions, including being named Photographer of the Year at the EPSON International Pano Awards, with awards spanning daytime landscape, night photography, and aerial categories. He also serves as a juror in international competitions and collaborates with selected brands within the sector.
While maintaining his professional career in consultancy, Diego approaches photography with the same excellence and commitment, engaging in education, talks, and community initiatives on a non-commercial basis. Driven purely by knowledge sharing and passion, this dual background allows him to approach visual storytelling with both creative sensitivity and analytical rigor.
