Formentera Fotográfica has become a national and international reference point for the photography world, a meeting between renowned photographers, amateurs and image lovers. The organisers, Francesc Fàbregas and Marina Feliu, have been attracting the best to the island for nine years and this year is no exception. Although they have not yet finalised the list of maestros participating, for the moment the list stands at 13 and Fàbregas highlights the inclusion of Luis Tato and Paco Gómez.

His work can be seen regularly published in major media outlets around the world and his images have won awards in photojournalism competitions, including a World Press Photo award and a nomination for World Press Photo of the Year.
