Julián Barón (1978) has a degree in Industrial Engineering and worked as quality manager at an engineering department in a factory. He currently devotes his time to photography as director of BlankPaper Escuela in Castellón and Valencia. His photographic training is self-taught, although he has conducted several workshops with Boris Mikhailov, Martin Parr, Joan Fontcuberta, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, Alejandro Castellote, Guerogui Pinkhassov, Javier Vallonrhat, Oscar Molina, Erik Kessel and Veronique Bourgoin.
Since 2001 he has received several scholarships to develop his first works. In 2005 he began the project "Cabanyal" on the Valencia neighborhood threatened by real estate speculation. Since 2008 he is working on a project entitled "Mancha", in which he tries to show the essence of our time by images taken at the heart of the Iberian Peninsula.

In November 2011, Editorial RM published his first photobook, CENSURA. This work focuses on politicians and their ways of operating in contemporary Spain. The technique is based on the style of "broken camera", using powerful flashes that blind both the viewer and the photographed character. The photographic mistake is used to create a political language.
He was awarded with the Photography CAM'03 prize, a second prize INJUVE'05 by the Spanish Ministry of Culture, Photo-ARCO'07 and the Conphederaciones'06 among others.
