BIOGRAPHY:
Babycakes Romero is primarily a street photographer dedicated to documenting the world around him. His daily #MYLDN series highlights the chaotic glory that is London, his hometown. It has been going for almost a decade and has recently been compiled into his debut photography book. “MYLDN – a streetview of London” is published by Carpet Bombing culture and is available online & in-store. It has been featured in Time Out and The Big Issue.
His “Death of Conversation” series, which focussed on the excess of smartphone use in today’s world, went viral around the world and was syndicated across every continent and seen by millions of people. He was subsequently interviewed and featured in a multitude of publications including BBC News, Buzzfeed, Mashable and The Washington Post as well as being featured in a live interview on Sky News and delivered a TED talk on the subject at a TEDx event in Bergamo, Italy in April 2015: https://youtu.be/SKx2lfobPuU
His first exhibition, entitled “UnArt”, documented how decades of torn posters in the tunnels of the London Underground created a series of unintentional works of art. It was a sell out show.
In 2018 he ran a successful Kickstarter campaign selling one hundred exclusive 1 of 1 prints in 30 days.
He is also a music gig photographer and amongst others has covered several events for the Despacio soundsystem featuring 2manydjs & James Murphy and was assigned by Massive Attack to photograph their concert at La fete d’humanite in Paris. Most recently he covered M.I.A’s meltdown and the Soulwax tour.
He has also directed and produced over 40 short films, various music videos and an independent feature film.
