Bajo Ulloa was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country). In contact with the world of image since childhood through the family’s photography store, he grew up observing the world through the lens of a camera, leading to a genuine and early passion for cinema. At the age of 14, he shot his first award-winning short films. At 17, he founded his own film production company, Gasteizko Zinema, and at 22, he shot ‘El Reino de Víctor’, which won the first Goya from the Spanish Academy of Cinematography, awarded to a short film, in a long professional career filled with accolades.
