Biography and education

She received a double degree from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid[5] in Advertising and Public Relations, and Audiovisual Communication. She then completed the EFTI[6] international master's degree, specializing in Conceptual Photography and Artistic Creation in 2011. In 2013, thanks to a scholarship, she took a specialized course on cinematographic narrative lighting[7] (cinematographic photography direction) at the same center.

After finishing her studies, Irene Cruz began her professional career as a photographer, developing a style centered on the mysterious, private and natural, with light being a very important factor in her work. Later, she also began to work as a video artist, focusing on video as a moving image, maintaining a style very similar to her photography. Later, in 2017, she directed her first feature film as director of photography "Diana"[8] (Alejo Moreno, starring Ana Rujas and Jorge Roldán), which premiered at the Malaga Film Festival 2018, and which has been screened at various festivals and venues in Spain, Germany, USA, Poland, etc.

Irene Cruz has also participated in various fairs such as ARCO[9] or Art Madrid,[10] Positions[11] (Berlin), Art Basel, Photo Basel.[12] In April 2017 she was the guest artist and image of the Photography Festival La Quatrieme Image[13] in Paris and at Photoespaña[14] (Madrid).

She has taught in schools such as EFTI[15] or TMF (Madrid) in ABBE[16] Geneva (Switzerland) Art von Frei,[17] FotoKlubKollektiv[18] or Unicorn (Berlin), Fiftydots or ACLAM in Barcelona . She also teaches this subject at Freie Universität[19] in Berlin or at UAL in London. Among her mentors, Isabel Muñoz stands out (she was his Assistant in 2018 / 2019 in one of her trips to Japan). Eduardo Rodríguez Merchán (Professor at the Complutense University of Madrid) and Venancio Blanco (Artist).

Since December 2019, she is part of the national association AEC (Spanish Association of Directors of Photography) and CIMA (Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media) and in Berlin she is part of the organization of Stammtisch Women in Cinema Berlin as well as active member of the collective The Women+ Film Network Berlin. As Director of Photography, in addition to "Diana"[20] (Fiction, Alejo Moreno, 101 min, 2018) she has been the DOP of "Hechos Probados"[21] (series of 3 chapters of 60 min each + 1 feature film, TBD, 2020) although she has also made several video clips, advertising campaigns (the last one she directed entirely for Levis, both graphic and audiovisual), video art pieces (highlighting her work at the Deutsche Oper[22] 2014, 2016) and short documentaries.
