She received a double degree from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid[5] in Advertising and Public Relations, and Audiovisual Communication.
After finishing her studies, Irene Cruz began her professional career as a photographer, developing a style centered on the mysterious, private and natural, with light being a very important factor in her work.
She has taught in schools such as EFTI[15] or TMF (Madrid) in ABBE[16] Geneva (Switzerland) Art von Frei,[17] FotoKlubKollektiv[18] or Unicorn (Berlin), Fiftydots or ACLAM in Barcelona .
As Director of Photography, in addition to "Diana"[20] (Fiction, Alejo Moreno, 101 min, 2018) she has been the DOP of "Hechos Probados"[21] (series of 3 chapters of 60 min each + 1 feature film, TBD, 2020) although she has also made several video clips, advertising campaigns (the last one she directed entirely for Levis, both graphic and audiovisual), video art pieces (highlighting her work at the Deutsche Oper[22] 2014, 2016) and short documentaries.
