Photography
Photography has been a basic part of my life since a very early age, first with film cameras and later transitioning to digital and now 360º VR. My photography has been used for adverts, billboards, websites, educational books, etc., receiving awards and accolades throughout the years. Even though many people now know me for my music, films, or writing, photography is ever present and influences other aspects of my art.
I’ve also published three photography books, two of which are currently still available and you can read more about them below. Become a patron on Patreon and receive behind-the-scenes access, content, music, and more, here.
Looking for prints? You can get one direct from me (contact) or you can buy prints of some of my photo prints on Imagekind!

Franco Esteve’s Devil’s Within
Franco Esteve’s Devils Within is an exploration within that spatial interaction that occurs within our lungs, alive, between body and nature, between the smoke and the cell. Its visions look for those demons that exist within us, within ourselves, within the smoker. Each person has their own interpretation, their own understanding, their own vision of that which exists within. In many ways, the images serve as a rorschach test of sorts, and though many see the things which I understood are there, others see their own visions, their own thoughts, their own demons and emotions. It’s real. It’s there… inside the smoker.
The book utilizes anaglyph stereo images to better convey the message of its photos, and though it’s recommended to have glasses available to fully experience the depth of that within the smoke, they are certainly not a requisite (The 2D versions of the photographs are also included). If you need glasses (red and cyan), you can get them from Amazon (USA) here: http://amzn.to/cRnUux
And from Amazon (UK) here: http://bit.ly/aQGbCt
I sincerely hope you enjoy the photography collection included within this book, and I hope to see you at an exhibit.
If you’re interested in buying prints from this collection, you can find them @imagekind here.
Thank you and Enjoy! 🙂
***Note: People are often surprised to learn that the images in this book and collection are actual photographs and not created through other means or doctored to create the shapes and forms (except to create the 3D window depth effect in the 3D versions, of course). They are as I saw them through the lens, but I certify that no demons were harmed during their capture. 🙂

Natural Raw
Natural Raw is Franco Esteve’s photography book and collection. It captures the raw essence of nature in all its forms and contains poetic writing to enhance the experience of each of the images. It is a large format book and can be purchased on Amazon.com here, and as an ebook both through the Blurb book service here and through the Apple iTunes iBooks Store here.
The book represents a vision of nature that includes its raw forms and expressions as well as the occasional crude, human contribution. Some of these are dramatic and can even be cruel and violent, and yet, others express a peaceful beauty like no other.
This book attempts to express this raw vision, both through its impactful images and through its accompanying written expressions which poetically transport the reader into nature’s world. It attempts to evoke unexpected feelings and thoughts in the viewer, both contrary and predictable. It is Franco’s hope that you will enjoy his varying visions – the ethereal brightness, the daze-inducing, happy and flowery views, the dark void within his visions of smoke, the raw crudeness of consumption, and the dreamy nature of colorblind – and feel enthralled by the journey through them.
I really hope you enjoy them. 🙂 If you’re interested in buying prints from this collection, you can find them @imagekind here. Thank you for your interest in my photography, and I hope to see you at an exhibit.
