Having graduated from the University of Brighton in 1998 with a BA in Editorial Photography, Ramirez went on to receive his MA in Photography and Urban Culture in 2006 from Goldsmiths. Alongside developing his practice as a contemporary urban photographer, Ramirez now also lectures at Temasek Polytechnic. His work is a delicate balance between what is real and what is perceived, between the fabric of the place and the texture of memory. Driven by ideas, theories and concepts, Ramirez travels extensively – a key element of his creative process.
