Xan Padrón is a Galician photographer, musician, and composer. The son of a journalist, he grew up as a silent observer, finding stories everywhere. A former touring musician, he traveled the world with his bass and his camera.

Padrón's fascination with time and movement, coupled with an ability to disappear behind the lens, led him to realize how much life happens in seemingly insignificant locations. His work has been exhibited in Spain, Canada, Israel, and the US, and his portraits of artists have been published worldwide in magazines, posters, and album covers.

His "Time-Lapse Series" was selected for Saatchi Art's The Other Art Fair in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Xan Padrón is a resident of New York City, where he lives and works.
