Spotlight on talent in Lanzarote: Photographer and Filmmaker Siboney Tabares King

1. How long have you been taking photos and making videos and what first made you interested in them? 

I have been taking photos since I got my first camera when I was about 10! I have always loved the way you can capture one moment of your life and have it forever.

 

2. What makes Lanzarote a good location for those interested in photography/film-making?

 

Lanzarote is a great location for photographing/filming; we have so many different places to photograph! I think that is what makes lanzarote special: you can either photograph a sunny white sand beach, or a not-so-normal black sand beach, or even an out of this world lava field! We have an awesome sky for night time photography too!

 

3. Where is your favourite part of Lanzarote for photos/videos?

 

 I love the cliff of  Famara and also Los Hervideros.

 

4. Which photo or video that you've made are you most proud of and why? 

 

Well, I think one of my favourite videos is, of course ¨The Unseen Lanzarote¨!





I also love all of my light painting photographs, especially the ones inside caves, like this one:

 

5. After the success of your amazing video "The Unseen Lanzarote" what have you got planned for 2016?

 I plan ¨The Unseen, part two¨ and also a night time lapse video of the stars!
