Mark Bellido

Mark Bellido was born in Seville in the spring of 1975, during the agony of Franco’s dictatorship. He studied fine arts, followed by nursing, psychology, oceanography and industrial design. He also has a MA in security and investigation. Some will know him as a war photojournalist; for the Spanish authorities, he is a political activist; but in reality, he is just a teller of lies, using images and words. In search of stories, and armed with a camera, he has been through wars and a few nights in prison. For four years, he protected Basque politicians threatened by ETA. He lives everything he writes. His name is Mark Bellido, but that is also a lie...
