Frank Díaz Terés was born in Barcelona in 1971. At three years old he began working as an advertising model - everybody in Spain will recognise this red-haired, freckled boy from ads such as Marbú Dorada, Pez Candies, Prenatal and Tente.

At age nine he was selected as a member of the band 'Parchís', one of the first Spanish kids pop groups to reach international acclaim, before going on to form his own band and acting in several musicals, including 'Hair'. Ever restless, he eventually decided to cross over to the other side of the camera.

Working for six years as a freelancer for advertising production companies, in 2010 Frank founded The Loft Studio, a consolidated photography studio in Barcelona. Convinced that every human being has something to offer the camera, his passion for images began to take shape.

Self-taught, Frank remains determined to continue learning from a world that he has always lived from multiple angles and that, as he says, makes him feel extremely satisfied.
