ABOUT

Miguel Vallinas Prieto is a Spanish fine art photographer celebrated for surreal, staged portraits that probe identity and self-perception.

His acclaimed series Second Skinsdresses animal heads in human fashion to mirror our inner natures, while “Raíz (Roots)” entwines human figures with flora to explore authenticity and belonging.

Each photograph is carefully conceived—nothing is left to chance. From selecting the subject to scouting the location, his process is rooted in precision and planning. The result is a body of work that feels both imaginative and deeply introspective, often inviting viewers to question who we are, how we present ourselves, and what lies beneath the surface.

Miguel Vallinas’ images are rich with open-ended meaning, offering space for individual interpretation while sparking universal reflection. His photographs  resonates with audiences around the world, blurring the lines between reality and fiction with elegance and emotional depth.
